I checked the placement more carefully this morning and the centre vent sits above and slightly forward of the radiator shroud. You can see the top of the shroud and a bit of the coolant overflow tank through the opening. With the front edge rubber gasket reinstalled on the hood, the air should vent from the front of the engine bay, not from the fresh air side of the shroud.

The side vents sit forward of the exhaust manifolds, but for twin turbo guys, they are ideally placed. I have no doubt they will aid with heat venting in stop and go traffic for sure, regardless of their placement.

A side note, none of the vents are visible from the drivers seat! The slope of the hood hides them. You do, however, see the slight bulge from the front hood lip which looks awesome!




pic with amuse rep bumper too. You can see the vent placement better here
