Re: Hood Ventilation

Paul we've had no issues with excessive heat or pressure. Our hood has about a 16" piece of the rear rib removed for wiper arm clearance as do most of these cars.

The hood flopped like crazy so we converted the 4 hood supports to a hood-pin setup and the hood is rock solid now.

We were going to cut out the side "eyes" like Kel (NZGTRA17) did to relieve air pressure but found that w/ the hood pin conversion we had no issues and didn't want to risk weakening that area of the hood because of it's proximity to the side latch.

Here's our hood pin setup:
