Creating lift under the hood probably is not a good thing ... but would they really ?

This has been discussed before (or very similar). Someone was asking about vented/ducted hoods. I don't remember anybody coming up with a definite answer. IIRC, someone said if the bottom aero plate is installed the air exits in the tunnel and shouldn't have a big effect. If you can't find the thread (I suggest using Google and putting "site:the370z.com " in front of your search terms), I may be able to find it in my subscriptions.
