My GTR hood vents
I put GTR vents on my hood. I have not seen many people do this so I thought I would share my thoughts.
When I did this I used some pics of another car that had this done as a rough template. I did not like how low the vents were put. I decided to go a different route and put the vents higher up on the hood. I know that the point is to vent the heat and having the vents higher effectively takes any benefit away. I thought of this also and have started fab work on a duct to reach back into the engine bay that is still efficient. I will put more pics up soon when I get closer to finishing.
I also made the vents a little straighter than just hugging the curve of the hood. It is not completely straight but more of half straight and half the curve of the hood. This was the best compromise.
Please give me any feedback. Be aware that the pics with just the hood make the vents look really high on the hood. On the car I believe it looks perfect. I will be adding those pics very soon.
