That hood looks good. Our current design, It release alot of heat coming from the engine bay. I had a chance to test it out on the canyon and man it was very useful and functional. What i like about the hood that it keeps the stock lines of the car.

Our second hood is a little more aggressive. It will have one large vent on each side .

I think it looks "hacked up" because it looks like there wasn't much thought put into the design past just cutting some vents into the OEM hood, which anybody can do that knows how to cut sheet metal. The point is that the vents don't have any real aerodynamic design behind them to create the most effective negative pressure areas which make the hood good at heat extraction (what I'm assuming is the intended design in the first place).



I actually am in the market for a 370z, which is why I joined this board in the first place.

My thoughts are, good design but will it cool the engine bay and provide a good drain if it rains.
