We've had this discussion before. The base of the windshield is a high pressure area. Why do you think the '70's Trans Am's, chevy muscle cars, nascar, and a few others all use that area for air inlet into the motor. The best idea so far has been synolimit's. It's directly behind the radiator, at the front of the hood. Which is a low pressure area. All you would need is a cover for it that has the opening in the rear of it. Facing the windshield. About 1.5"~2" high. The air moving over it would help suck out the heat from under the hood. Another idea would be fender vents. Think of the '70's Trans Ams. I had 2 of them. The vents on them worked. Because they got their air directly from the engine compartment. Not from the inner fender liner, like some vented fenders do now.
