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

Sounds reasonable to me. I'll jack the car up later and take a closer look.

That was a wild-*** guess, so I may be completely wrong. It just seems like the only place that air can go.

Well I think the science behind it is that Heat flows from hot to cold. Heat will draw to cold like a magnet. As colder air running under the car also creates a draft/ suction effect pulling some of the hot air out when the vehicle is at speed.

Understood. We're all making guesses at this point.

It does seem to be the most likely place. The hood seems to be well sealed and it's not going through the firewall. Out the bottom or through the wheel wells sounds like the only other options. I'm interested enough to check it out.

BTW, I like that hood with the louvers at the bottom of the creases. Very subtle.
