I did my hood mod nearly three years ago and feel it's an effective way to assist in extracting hot air from the engine compartment.
1) Remove blanket
2) Remove plastic vent covers
3) Put blanket back on, but only secure with 2 to 3 hold down pins
4) Lower the hood and through the top of the hood, take a pen and mark the desired outline of the opening through the vent opening.
5) Remove blanket again and using a razor, cut out the opening to the desired size. Try to round the corners as much as possible.
6) Hang the blanket by the ground strap and paint the entire face of the blanket with a high quality flat black paint or the color of your choice
7) Using Flextrim from a boat supply store, begin installing on the new hood blanket opening. When you get to the last run, carefully figure how long to leave the tail of the Flextrim and cut so that it fits snuggly to the opposite end.
8) Repeat for other hood vent opening.
9) Reinstall blanket onto underside of hood.
Great pics, great write-up...I did it this weekend...thanks
