I just order my hood vents from Gen-Right

 

Awesome look.. Thinking of doing this myself

 

Been following this thread and got me thinking about installing hood vents because my engine bay gets so hot that I couldn't even hold the hood long enough to prop it up after my drive home from work. I was going to install louvers closer to the firewall and then 2 smaller ones right behind the radiator area but thinking about it, I'm more stuck in traffic than being in the highway so I decided to install the rears first. Been driving it for the past week and what a difference it makes! before I can't even touch the hood without wearing gloves, now I can literally plant my face on it! The louvers are totally different tho, they are hot and you can see heat escaping it.




BTW, it's been raining here almost every day for the past couple of weeks, so far I have no problems with it..I just made sure that all wiring connectors got fresh coating of dielectric grease and so far so good

 

^^ I was just getting ready to ask, I want to install some vent as well, just scared it might mess something up that's electrical. I'm in IL and it snows/rains like a ****. I don't think it's going to take much to talk me into it.

 

Here's mine
300zx vents

Sorry, not so much.

 

Thanks for the link, I have been debating going to a bodyshop with a spare hood to get some hotrod style louvers cut into the hood. I may have to pick up a couple of louverart's "The 9"

Hey guys this is a build thread not a discussion thread. If you would like to discuss this subject any further please make a thread in the discussion forums. I would hate to see this thread get closed. The OP was nice enough to show and discuss his work into detail for us, so lets keep this opened for his sake!

 

My apologies... and i did ask for an under the hood pic.. which would fall under the subject of the HOOD vent..

thanks
