Hood Vents

[Amund2]

Had to make new ones...

 

[BAMCHEROKEE88]

I'm installing a set of these this weekend!!

I figure in the winter I can mount some KC Dayliters in the middle so rain won't get in. I'll probably put them on a swivel Patrol Car style. Sweeet.

What are they????????

Looks like something Mr. Freeze would wear.

I was too cheap to go buy some vents so I just cut some slots in my hood and bent some vents in it with some pliars.

I think they turned out pretty good.

Website if photos show up as red X's

I had the same problem with overheating on hills? The 180 degree thermostat
fixed it for me. Now when it running hot, its at 210.

I think I like these mounted near the front of the hood

Hey Now what's wrong with old threads?

hey guys, what about just lifting the back of the hood up about 3/4" ? i think i saw somewhere blocks cut from aluminum that went between the hood and the hinges....

Read the rest of the thread and you will see that

I am assuming that all of you completely removed the insulation "blanket"? I was trying to decide to remove it completely, or cut out a section where the hood vents are.

Rip it out!

 

[Sterling90XJ]

are there any pics out there with hood vents that are painted to match the hood, would love to see what that looks like

thanks

Here's mine with Grand Prix GTP louvers and drip trays. Haven't had a chance to see how much cooling has been improved yet.

Also, Purple... I have the rear of the hood shimmed up on mine too. May be lowering it back down now that I have vents.

looks cool i assume you had to realign the hood? I dont think you would see much of difference in cooling with the louvers/vents than without... if you removed the brackets, yes... anyway, i got Trans Am vents off ebay, they are on the way, will post pics...
