Hood vent question?

[DSG2003SVT]

TTT

I just stumbled on this thread. Them vents are BADA$$!!! Cant wait til they are available!!!

Which color would go good with DSG??? :banana: :banana: :thumbsup:

Depends on your other accents. I'm doing black, but if you did chrome accents, then the polished would look better. Choose what works with your app. Either way, they'll look awesome

Doug puts his pants on one leg at a time, except, once his pants are on - he fires up the CNC machine and takes our money..

Black for me. Maybe gunmetal if there's something like it.

I will buy a set.I would choose polished billit for my metallic silver.

They would look good. Hmmm I will have to get another mod to offset the weight gain of the metal. Maybe add something for 50 hp or so gain..ha...ha...

think its about time these came to market....

I already designed a bracket and mounted 2 fans in each side of my hood vents, but I got all kinds of flack on here about how useless of a mod it was.

I personally think it helped my under hood temps some, especially when driving in traffic and at lower speeds. I never made any claims of increased horsepower.

I also took a bunch of flack about how I was blocking air flow by putting fans in there, but if anyone had bothered to look at my design closer they would have seen that I didn't seal the fans in the vent completely and any overpressure could easily pass out between the bracket and the vent just like the gap between the vent and the stock hood vent flap.

The fans I used were not weather proof and I had them on for almost 1 year and never removed them during rain or washing the car and did not have any failures, They were an 80 MM Fan that moved about 50 CFM each and I had 2 mounted in each vent, that's 200 CFM of air flow. I've had to remove them thou now because I put an Aluminum IC Tank in and there isnt enough clearance for my original design for the hood to shut. Maybe with some modification and some low profile fans it could be made to work again.

Hey that looks really good, I want the hood vents too!

Mr. Doug... Please tell me these things are coming to market sooner rather than later... :-D

 

[frankin]

Those look like standard computer case fans. Are they?

I am torn between Black and Clear (silver). I think that black would go better with the direction I have gone with my cobra so far. But damn the blingy silver is sick. :rockon:

Hey Jeff. I would say a Gloss Black would look super great on your car with all the black accents already on it.

 

[HISSMAN]

That is what I am thinking.
