well you can make your own or buy some.
if you make your own use grill mesh from lowe's its like $6 for 2 sheets
and if your goin to buy your own either buy them online or buy them from an autoparts store and if you do the 2nd one you have to drill holes to make them work. then under the vents you bought mark out a section to cut out of your hood. theres lots of write ups on this from other users in the fab section. just search

I'm thinking those vents would dramatically reduce under hood temps, by at least 30 degrees or more, and since your intake sucks air from under the hood you'd get a lil reduction in intake air temps.

thats what i was thinking but the better question that i should have asked is would water be a problem and would the temp drop be enough to be beneficial sorry for the jack
