Default NISMO RS hood vents on HR hood

I've searched, but only came up with pics and reviews on DE hoods. Anyone have any completed pics of this done on an HR hood? I'm thinking of removing my Seibon TS-II and putting the OEM back on, but want to do the RS vent mod to it. I've got the template ready to go, just want to make sure it'll work.

I'm sure it'll look great... I'm a huge fan of the hood and I love the HR bump, so why the Hell not? Do it!

I like the idea.

Maybe you could have someone photoshop one for you if there are no pictures readily available.

This would be a great alternative to the seibon TS hood and will def save a couple hundred since seibon hoods really weigh very similar to our hoods

not much in the way of savings after you have a body shop cut out the vents and repaint the hood. unless you planned on buying a cf hood and painting it.

^those were the plans but costs was just not reasonable.

OP, any thoughts about using carbon fiber NACA ducts in combination with the RS cutouts? Just a thought since the NACA ducts will direct air inside the bay (slightly) and have a few cutouts placed possibly near the back of the hump of the hood to vent? Just some thoughts after looking for alternatives as far as venting the heat without buying another hood.
