Taking a cue from bpd and continuous talk about underhood heat and iat's I decided to do a retrofit with TruCarbon carbon fiber hood vents.

Here is the result :)
Im digging it, and awesomely enough it only takes a few min of driving to literally see the heat coming out of them. Im def happy with this mod.

Thanks guys...
Ill get an underhood pic tomorrow, I had to cut one reinforcement piece and I epoxied them in from underneath just for extra insurance.  Didn't wanna rely solely on the double-sided tape.

I havent reinstalled the hood blanket yet, I obviously need to trim it, but tbh ill prob leave it off.

Hopefully with it gone, engine cover gone, and vents I can keep the bay significantly cooler than stock.

The carbon fiber looks fabulous against that glittering tux black :thumb:  Hooray for this bpd-pioneered mod!  You did the work yourself?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

nice! I did something similar to my Jeep SRT8.  molded louvers off the hood of a totalled Viper into my factory hood.  helped with heat a LOT, when at a stop you could just see the heat waves coming out.

Looks really sweet!  :thumb: and if the hood blanket is cut below them it should keep under hood temps down considerably!
