Guess I'll be the guinea pig, carbon fibre ts vented hood and stillen bumper. See how it works out.

Not sure how your guys cars react but on a decently warm day at speed if you don't turn ac on the z gets crazy warm in cabin,almost like the heat from the engine bay has nowhere to go, kinda like the Dodge Vipers back in the 90s, just my opinion.
I have a TS vented hood, with OEM coupe front bumper and standard crash bar.
Sitting in traffic in Houston for over an hour my temps are usually this:
-Water 210F
-Oil Temp 220F
-Intake Air Temp varies depending on outside temp mainly but stopped traffic I over 20-30 degrees over what the car states is the outside temp. I move forward a bit or roll 5-10mph and it drops quickly to 15-20 degrees over ambient

A vented hood works great in the heat and traffic and on the great 100+ days here in Houston can be a life saver, though I try not to drive far on those days or get stuck in traffic.
