Well I did it, got this hood on today.. Functional and clean, great fit.. Will paint it to match the car when my vented fenders get here.

Looks good! Is it a Seibon hood?

Yes sir, Seibon.. Nice and strait. :tiphat:

Could you try to grab a straight down shot above the vent, to see what is just below the vent and where it sits compared to the radiator/engine?

Keep an eye on it separating and the yellowing

picture from the top through the vent? i plan to get this hood very soon and wanted to know where the vent goes to

drops right in front of the radiator cap. You can see it through the grill. I am painting this hood to match the car color. That will cut down on yellowing and splitting.

Awesome

If I paypal you enough for a six pack of beer, will you tape little pieces of yarn all around the vent and go drive around to observe airflow?

When i get mine I will.

I'll do it this weekend on the way to Kelly's. I am interested to see the results too.. Might not be yarn but I'll get it done. Youtube Vid.

Vent Strings

Dude that was hilarious when you put the camera out the window. I'm trying to picture the conversation with a cop explaining why you are driving with a camera in your hand stuck out the window. "well ocifer there's this guy on a forum that wanted me to tape yarn to my hood and video tape it. He said he would give me beer if I did it."

Vents definitely work. I had a plastic bag melted on my y pipe and smoke came out of the vent lol

nice vids did the best you could without a go pro.

You can definitely tell that air is getting pulled out of the vent. Very nice. Thanks for the vids.

Awesome. This hood is on my wish list anyway, lol!

:icon18:

Bumping this bad boy because of this! The sad part of this is the hood has been at my brother's house for two weeks and I have not seen it in person yet :mad:

Your still sitting on that thing? Just send it to Houston, we'll just throw it on Chuck's ride and give you a decent write-up in return:tup:

LOL...I know five months in waiting, what's another month! :ugh2:

Nice, which hood is that? Don't think I've seen it before.

Me neither. Very different.

Awesome, so sexy!

They are Fugimura hoods!

Did not realize there was an opening that far back of the hood, curious to see if there is any heat that will get extracted that far back.

Me too...I remember you commenting on that in the FI thread.

Yeah, it comes down to high vs low pressure areas when trying to get heat out.
I don't think anyone has done enough extensive running with the Z to prove that a vent that far back would be bad, we all just summarize that the closes to the front/center area is most ideal for extracting heat.

Better throw that thing on or I will just have to put it on my car... :stirthepot:

Ah, yes. Looks a touch different at those angles.

I would bet that the front vents help pull heat but not so sure about the back ones. It's a good looking hood!

Im adding three layers of clear coat to it before i clearbra. The clearcoat it came with is super thin. But fitment was very good. And yeah i didnt know it was vented on the back end.

Nice hood hotrodz . I was debating between this and the varis and had I saw these pics prior I would have went with this over the varis. THe pics I saw online just didn't do it justice like these. :shakes head: I'm glad u have it and it looks hella sweet. It will work well when we run our cars when u make it over to see me haha:driving:

Looks sick man.

I know engineer, but it may be that it helps in drawing the hot air through the side vents and making them more effective.

:icon23: :eek:

Thanks everyone for all the great comments...hjo1078 is another FI boosted brotha. I debated on getting the Fugi front bumper too, but I partial to keeping it Nismoish for now LOL!!!
