I think the vents on the new stang look great and are functional. Has anyone used these on a fox hood? If so, pics please.
Also, what other style vents do you see get used? I think a cowl hood with vents on either side looks mean!
Seriously though... I'm not a huge fan of those on even the new cars. Here's what you can do though...
Make yourself a mocked-up set out of cardboard or something and try different placements on your hood to see if they give you the look you're after.
Cervinis has the inserts. You can get a pretty good idea of size and shape from their website and use that info to make your templates. Their site says that they are 12.5 x 7 inches on the outside diameter but your roughed in hole (yeah, you're going to have to cut your hood) will be 11x6.
If you're doing it for heat extraction then this isn't the answer. An inducted cowl will do a better job. If you're doing it because you like the look, well... that's a different story.
Where you place these louvers in your hood will determine whether air goes into the engine bay, exits the engine bay, or stays pretty much neutral. Areas near the base of your windshield will generally be high pressure so air will be forced IN. Areas more toward the nose of the car will generally be lower pressure and flow will be OUT of the engine bay.
I'm not sure which would be more beneficial in that respect. I can tell you that cutting air from UNDER the car and creating more negative pressure behind the radiator makes a huge difference on these cars.
