Also - which gtr hood scoops did you purchase. eBay has one selling less than 200$

Go slow and don't use a grinding wheel.

You should also tape off the outer edge of your cut lines. Cutting a hood is not that big of a deal, when the vents or scoop you decide to use is in-place, it will cover any non straight cuts (within reason of course) with the flange of the vent on the top side of the hood. But the straighter the cut the better it will look under the hood

Looks good and thanks for the motivation. Now to buy the die cutter

Interested to do this to my OEM hood. But would like to use Varis cooling bonnet style vents.

Anyone know where I can get a set that look lile those ones?

Nice, anyone find varis style air ducts?

cooltoy · 08-08-2017, 10:22 AM

Have not seen anyone make ones like that.

I used a dremel with a rotary rasp style bit and worked flawlessly and super clean cuts. Tried out several on a spare hood before taking the plunge.

Picture is potato and wasn't intended to show off the vents, but give you an idea of the "snouts" at the high side to let all that nasty heat out - and you could practically roast a chicken over the vents.
