DIY hood vents
i decided to vent my hood to help keep the car cool on track.
i picked up a spare hood to do the vents. i'll put the stock hood back on for the winter if i don't get lazy but i really don't drive the car in the snow.

Re: DIY hood vents
pretty much everything i used for the project are in the pics.
the grills are tucked between the hood support frame and i used high temp silicon sealant to hold the grills in place.

i could have used screws or rivets to attach it but i was in a hurry to get it done on for track the next day. i didn't want to rush on a permanent solution.

Alot of vented hoods in car shows, and for track days...as it's functional, which is (hopefully) the reason you did it...
Definite props for the work...come up with a more permanent solution and it will be an A++

Disagree...I've seen a few guys who have used clips that looked pretty professional.
