Bonnet Vents

[jeepbloke2]

Can a few ppl post up some pictures of different bonnet vents that they've mounted and the good and bad points (if there is any) u've experienced? Im going to be tackling this soon but tossing up between praticallity and aesthetics. One or two vents or even stainless or plastic louvres? Thanks in advance

What do you want to acheive by doing this exactly? As this has been covered before with very mixed reactions....

1. I want to decrease under bonnet temp. I know it may or may not be the best way ever blah blah but i wan2 do it...
2. I want it to look cool

I did some test a while back that I published the results of on here and the results are,
1. Won't do a real lot, unless offroad in low range or lots of slow traffic....
2. Personal taste will dictate on this one.

I have stainless steel lourve vents in my spare bonnet that is painted up to match the car which I like and the Mrs also likes which is a bonus!!!!

I couldn't find any that I liked the look of, either, so I'm gonna make my own. I'm a fussy bastard, and I can't stand the look of those cheapo plastic ones.

You did find though that it drew cold air in at speed just like my cowl though. That will still help keep things like the CPS cooler as well as the transmission and under floor area.
