My question is that you are saying that the hood does not ventilate as well as one would think? Also I checked vivids site and could not find any place to order it, but now I am kind of on the fence because ultimately I would much rather have functionality over appearance. The Fuji hood is the best looking IMHO, but if it heat may become an issue when boosted I may have to look at other hoods as the Fuji seems to cost nearly 2-3 times as some of the other options and does not equate to ventilation.. thanks greatly appreciate your feedback on it.

Also have you thought about adding more ventilation to the hood while keeping the appearance and improving on functionality? That might be something worth while..

Edit: Just saw that you were looking for custom inserts disregard previous message

The Fugi hood is awesome and sexy as hell. It is very functional and moves a lot of air. Like I said in another post I have only hit high temps on one occasion during a track day and the temp was over 90*. This really could have nothing to do with the hood but more to not getting more air in through the bumper. My temps were even fine on a 100* track event that was a night. So I am doing a number of things to combat high temps.

The great thing about the hood is you can run in the rain and water never touches your engine. The hood drains incredibly well. I would buy it again. The other reason I am looking for a solution is I don't want to screw Fugi up at the track. So far it has no noticeable chips or scratches on it. You can order the Fugi hood from RHDJapan. They have reasonable prices and the wait is about three months.
