Hood Vents / Louvers

**5er** · 02-02-2012, 08:06 PM

A drip pan under the vent could be made to divert dripping water without much difficulty...

Bryan, could/would you do a door guard style moulding around the cutout and mesh inside?

Here's another variation on the mustang vent theme... kinda expensive imo... but a nice style... Fulcrum Aeroworks - Splitters Name: Untitled-1.jpg

I also got this sucker today

And just placed it on the hood to see how it might look on the 04-06 hood:

Damn, those lines in the vent are opposite the hood lines, still looks good. Can't wait to see it installed.

Dave, that is a possibility. I picked up some sand paper today to start prepping the areas for paint. Guess if it doesn't come out perfect I could try that around the edges.

**thesammythecurse** · 02-08-2012, 06:05 PM

Lol, yeah, I'm leaning towards just filling those in entirely before I paint it. Hopefully it'll look like a smooth solid piece.

**Balyon85** · 02-08-2012, 06:06 PM

So, you're going to paint the carbin fiber?

**thesammythecurse** · 02-08-2012, 06:09 PM

Yeah, not sure if you noticed, the hood is half sanded and has little cracks filled. Lol. I would vinyl it with CF, but I tried once with a friend and it's a lot harder then all the how tos and videos show.

**Balyon85** · 02-08-2012, 06:14 PM

Ya most are but painting it will be good too....and I need a white 2j sticker to rock on my car, the windows are tinted so dark you cant see the black one at all.

**5er** · 02-08-2012, 06:21 PM

Woot!
I think I'd fill the hood lines in front and leave the rear lines alone... even move the vent a bit forward

**thesammythecurse** · 02-08-2012, 06:28 PM

I want the vent sitting just behind the turbo, not right above it. I'll have to measure it out and figure where that point is.

What are you going to do about the moisture?

While driving, nothing. While parked, I will come up with some sort of cover I can place on it. I park in a garage, but when I work or w/e, I'll have it covered with something I make

went with cutting out in between the hood braces. The spot i chose is directly above the header. Repainting the car to a midnight blue also. Thinking of getting some of that door and wheel well edging to go around where i cut to clean it up even more then paint match it. Also thinking of deleting the antenna what do you guys think?

**Balyon85** · 02-27-2012, 07:07 PM

Almost got my hood ready to paint, just painting the area around my cuts, hold me over til I get the entire car repainted.

**wonderduck** · 03-13-2012, 03:15 PM

**J966** · 03-13-2012, 03:24 PM
