Heat soak - vented hood options that are not "louvered"

dmhenderson

Edit: Just want to clarify I'm looking for venting options due to my FI build. I'm looking for solutions that take the intercooler into account.

I'm not really sure whether this thread belongs in here or in the "body/exterior" forum but I figured I'd start here as I suspect I'm not alone. If a mod thinks this belongs elsewhere, please feel free to move it.

So unsurprisingly, I'm having radiant heat/heat soak issues especially when the car is pushed hard and I'm looking at more engine bay venting before I look into a bigger oil cooler/radiator/other cooling options whatever. I already have the vented fender liner from GTM so a hood scoop would be a nice way to get some air circulation going.

Thing is, I'm not crazy about the vented hood options I've seen posted here (carbon signal, seibon etc). I really don't like those diagonal vents as it kinda ruins the lines of the car - no offense intended, just my opinion.

I ran across this on my facebook feed (not my car):



...and it turns out this is a non-functional scoop - ugh. Is there a hood that looks like this or the old 350z vented hood style? I've been told modifying the stock hood (even with a fantastic metalworker) is a bad idea for several reasons.

Any ideas?
