hood vents and heat

[SCT2003]

does it look open? there is 1/4" wire mesh painted black on there. my car sat without a hood all night so i could let it cure all night.

great mod, i recommend it to everyone wanting that heat extraction.

Cool...I didn't notice the installed mesh screens in the picture above...maybe because they are black and the picture isn't a close up???

Good job on the mod...but lose those fender stripes...those make the car look too busy IMHO!!!

Anybody want to sell their factory hood vents that have the flap on them? I'm worried about the rain.

Don't worry about the rain, honestly. I've driven through torrential storms with zero issues.

Here is the thread I started. I did it mearly for looks. Im sure there are some good cooling affects. On one of the last pages I made some more changes to them. Check it out. http://www.svtperformance.com/forum...-stock-hood-vents-tell-me-what-you-think.html

you should definately take/post up some better pics, because the one you posted...YES it looks open. not only does it look open, but it looks like you just cut 2 big squares in your hood and then left it alone, with no final touches what so ever.

not trying to bash your hood job....just saying from that pic, since its not very close up, and possibly a bad angle...just doesnt do the hood job any justice.

Recently started open tracking the car and looking for better cooling in the AZ desert. I'm thinking about trying these louvers out. Figured I'd place them where sct2003 has his.

Genesis Technologies Carbon Fiber Race Car Hood Louvers

and these look like they would work great.

they also look about identical to what the other member (SCT or whoever) did a few pages back. just cut the holes, and add the vents!

+1 I removed the factory vents 3 years ago along with the fire blanket and never looked back. They've been wide open Daily Driving through all kinds of Florida weather, touchless car washes, and my own driveway detailing and the only issue I have is that I have to clean the motor a little more often...

Email him. He probably won't see this thread looking at his post count.

Looks like they're pretty hard to find now, but how is the Saleen Extreme hood for dumping heat?

 

[Marc]

I want to do this so bad, but the underside of my hood looks like A$$. I have the aftermarket hood vents in right now, but the blanket is on. But, as summer approaches, I probably need to remove it. I have the 2.9 Whipple on there now.

I heard that.You should feel the heat coming out of the vents when I park the car.
These are the vents I installed.

ive been thinking about getting these vents, but since my car isn't kept in a garage will the rain mess up anything??

I was also just thinking about trimming my stock ones but I just don't want water or rain to effect the motor or mess anything up

will It be fine??

 

[T3naci0usT]

I have these vents on my car and the only thing that happens is that you get some water on your overflow tank

I wouldn't run these if my car wasn't garaged or was daily driven. Water is a big ignition coil killer

Yowzers, blast from the past. First, I assume you were searching when you found this, if so, all good. No issues with rain running these or similar.

I drove from my house to Orlando for a get together in a huge storm and had zero issues. It just runs down the front of the engine as posted above.
