Default Do-It-Yourself Hood Vents?
Has anyone done the 8 hood vents with the mesh under it to their hood? Like the one on the RS Concept?

Dunno. I guess it would be better to put them where you want 'em instead of where the manufacturer wandted them.

Of course 350Z owners cut holes in the hood. A reputable body shop will do it. Its a OK idea for a show 350Z. Do you want this for a street 350Z in the rain?
