Actually, having a larger hole in the front (similar to what Chris posted) would be the best.
That opening will pull hot air out from the radiator before it hits the engine helping cool the overall system.

ahh, ok! thanks for the info, that makes sense. :tup:

I'm curious to see how that hood looks on the Z. It reminds me of the hood bulge on the 350's.

to be honest the single opening looks like something that belongs on an evo. not my cup o tea, but different strokes....

I left my first two vents carbon and faded the rear. Then I had the buldge lines tapped off, kind of in an upside down L shape on the passenger side, and upside down/flipped on the driver side (if that makes sense). I have some pics in the build thread/albums.

This is kind of the best one I can find the way it is done everything blends well, then when people get close they notice t is a CF hood. Everyone seems to enjoy it so far that have seen it.

I like this look. Where the vents are painted but only the small sides of the vents are left unpainted.. I've been looking for a vented hood and would paint one this way. Nice and clean but still shows some carbon so people know what is it.
