Hey guys, recently I cut out the vents on my hood, kind of on a whim, and was wondering if anyone else has done this yet? I still have to do the final sanding and paint, but it's pretty cool sitting at a red light and seeing the heat rise out of the hood. It keeps the temps down pretty low. I've yet to have a problem with water coming through the vents, and we've had some pretty heavy rain.

Here's a couple sucky pictures:

 

i did it on my old hood but i only had it on for like a month or so, then i finally bought a ws6 hood lol

 

Yeah, I'll be getting another hood before she gets paint. I was just tired at looking at those stupid sun faded fake vent cover things. Where did you get your hood?

 

nice job i want to do this to my z can u get more pics please

 

i cant remember where i got it, but theyre not hard to find. just google camaro ram air hood and there should be plenty of sites to buy from. i couldnt find any functional ones, so i bought a solid hood and made it functional lol

 

so taking the plastic vents out doesnt mess the engine at all? Like nothing gets in there? Cause I hate the crappy plastic sticking out.

 

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Please tell me how those ugly fake vents come out. I can't seem to get mine out. Also, I'm thinking of getting knight rider style LED beams to put in my vents rather than making them functional lol

 

i did mine chaotic you need to rip the liner out of your hood there held on with 4 nuts pretty easy...

what did you use to cut them out with

 

Please don't there are several around here like that and its not any better than buying those stupid led windshield washer things

 

i belive there called snake eyes and ya ghey as aids lol
