Okay, been thinking of adding hood vents to my '98 XJ. It's warm under the hood in Houston, TX to say the least. The vents I see offered for XJ's just doesn't appeal to me. I was thinking hood vents off a late 60's muscle car or louvres. Has anybody done this? Does it help?

 

I've seen people use your common wall vent from a home improvement store. Anything will work. Just depends on your fab skills.

And I'm sure it'll help about 5-10 degrees, depending how big the vents are

 

honestly, anything is better than nothing.

 

the chrysler lebaron hood vents seem fairly common
there are a lot of write-ups floating around

 

Fireturd trans am GTA mid 80s flush mount vents fit nice.Hard to find,but fit well.

 

So I am looking at hood vents but I live in a place that it rains a lot anything I would have to protect?

 

I like the way these look. http://www.ebay.com/itm/170926042379...84.m1438.l2649

 

Thanks for the input. I'll look for those Trans Am ones to start with. Too bad you can't place a sample of each on your hood before you buy!

 

Napier makes some that cover against rain... millions of threads on this topic though.
