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

wheee! · 12-18-2013, 08:18 PM

This is a shot of the venting of the JP-R hood. It has side vents that come with rain guards which can be removed with push pins. The centre vent seems to sit almost OVER the radiator shroud so I am not sure if the venting will help with heat soak or not. Might vent fresh air from the front this way...

oh, and the fitment is darn near perfect. Slight gap near the hinge on the drivers side but I think I can massage that away.

That's my JP-R hood from Exteme Dimensions. Very good fit overall but a small height issue at the back hinges that the bodyshop says they can fix. It goes in Monday for paint...
