I still have them if you're looking for a set. Genuine APR carbon fiber

These vents look awesome! Have you thought about doing another run of them at some point? I love the evo vii feel they give off.

I still have the apr carbon, definitely not making any of the one I'm running now. Hard to find unique Sonic hoods ya know!

Hmu if you want the apr... Repeat buyer pricing available!

Haha I appreciate it. I really like Llia’s vents though. They remind me the evo vii hood.

After reading a few topics on here about hood vents and a few elsewhere on other forums, I thought I'd reach out for opinions on what I have planned. Not sure if this is the right place for it, but it seemed relates

Red areas on the photo indicate areas that will be cut and angled down to function as louvered vents.

I'm looking for input on aesthetic form and actual function; I want something that looks good and reduces engine bay heat.

I feel you would be well served to plan your louvres to be cut within the bracing metal pieces on the underside of the hood. Easier to cut, safest for the structure, and a bit closer to the front, where the exhaust manifold is and you can evacuate the hottest air.

So far the laid out pattern falls within the center triangle on the back. The only support I would be removing would be the horizontal support in the middle.

Would I suffice with the two closest to the radiator/exhaust manifold? Or would there be a benefit to venting over the head of the engine itself?

I am not sure if the larger cuts would be necessary. Llila showed early in this thread by installing just one side of the front and it reduced her under hood temperature quite significantly.

Nice, I'll have to review the earlier posts. It sounds like any venting I do will be an improvement over a non-vented hood.

In that case, it seems like aesthetics would be the next thing to worry about. I showed my plans to a friend of mine, and he worried that it would make the front "too busy"; the front end on these cars are already pretty dramatically styled.

Hopefully this links the picture as well. Wondering if any of these vents are still available. Also thinking of just drilling a bunch of 1" holes through that area then cleaning it up and coating it with plastic haha

I can't speak for the Seibon temperature wise. But I'm sure it will help reduce weight.


I ran another temp test with my vents with two sensors. a) above turbo b) near battery
