Hmmm, what do you think? Looks better than before, specially with the brake ducts body colored. Might have to do a poll with several options.

Looking great! Ithe body-colored body vents look better to me than the black. I think it would look better if the angle on the outside edges of the upper vents was the same as the angle of the sides of the hood.

I think the work you did is good quality. A bit too "obvious" for my likes but that doesn't make it bad. It had to take courage no doubt. I had thought once thought of modifying the lip where the hood meets the windshield wiper tray with some slots and black mesh but didn't get around to it yet. Strictly for invisible cooling.
All in all good job!!

That's the way they are sold, I do believe.

Very gutsy move with the hood vent. Much props!

Sorry Synolimit, really not trying to

but thought I would give you a little peak of my poject

Besides as far as function, your vent is going to be very hard to beat, unless you remove the hood

Inspiration from Simota1

More to come in the next month or so. I work slow, but I get it right

True, but but there is a plan in place under the hood to draft out the heat & it's still in the layout process

Edit, a better pic has been posted

That would be some good stuff out here in TX. Heat is the number one killer of electronics.......

roplusbee · 09-28-2013, 07:30 PM

I wonder how this would work out with louvered type vents in the hood?

I finally jumped in and punctured my hood

I would have thought you would face the vents the other direction... No?

Functionally, I don't think it makes any difference. On most cars, most of the hood is at lower pressure when moving over 20-30 mph. But I haven't seen any air flow charts for the Z.
