Hood vent
 

Looking to see if anyone has one of these, or knows of a place that has them. Just need a little hood vent for my hood. I'm looking for one that looks like the one in the picture below.

Theres are a hundy.

I know theres another set of them out there that may be cheaper, although not carbon fiber.

I don't have these but that's where Ive found them.

Great link, thanks!

Send a quick PM to Dan Moore (sideways motorsports). I'm pretty sure he might be a help as well since you always see these on Rally Cars.

OK cool thanks. I also contacted RRE about it because I used to see them on a lot of their cars. Sounds like they may have some in stock as well.

I'm also looking at the invader style carbon fiber hoods, since they already incorporate a vent into the hoods. But I think I'll just stick to one of these riveted on ones. Cheap and effective!

Brandon just pull the rubber seal out from the firewall side of the hood. it will let hot air out and keep the factory look.

Solve the actual problem, hood scoops aren't needed on our cars unless you're doing some serious road racing.

Carl, that is actually something I was going to do also. Pull out that seal, and probably add 1 washer to the hood to slightly lift it up.

As for fixing the real problem. I'm starting to get stumped here. Maybe refer to my other thread about this and let me know if you have any ideas. The one thing right now that I suppose it still could be, is a headgasket. But the car passed a compression and a leak down test, and a coolant system pressure test. I'd think that if anything was getting passed the headgasket, it would show in one of those tests. I don't see the problem as being the head lifting neither, because this is happening on the freeway when I'm in vacuum and not even seeing a max of 5psi at any point.
