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.

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

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.

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?

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
