Default Installed 280z hood vents today :)

I finished putting in my hood vents from an old Datsun 280zx today... I really like these vents They have a decent lip (1/2 inch on the sides and a good inch on top and bottom) making installation a snap... I used some screen door tabs on the interior vent studs and they worked like a charm securing it. I also used lexxel under the lips to seal it and help with the hold (just in case).

Nice job they look killer!

Got any shots from the under side? Any problem with water pooling on engine?
