Painted a random hood today.

Wow, that looks very nice! Prob is, I don't want a full CF hood and would rather keep the stock hood. It needs useful vents!

I don't know how useful the vents are. I would assume that witout a way to increase the air leaving the engine bay, it's mostly for looks.

You sir have the refined hood palette of royalty.
I figured as much about the ducts, at a stop heat does disperse from the bay much more quickly.
