yep thats the picture.I'm not putting in the vents in the front of the hood just the side one's.I've already got one in I just need to get the other one in later today.I'm doing it for functionality not looks.Get more hot air out of the engine bay.

sorry dude, i think that looks so retarted.
The vents arent even flat like they are on the TA hoods. It just doesnt look right. If your doing it get hot air out of the engine bay, get a different hood.

Well it's pretty easy to put them in if you take your time.in the pics you can tell were I made my holes on the bottom of the hood.I still have to make a little more trimming on the holes but that's for later (lazy).After I cut the holes out I made sure that they were the same length on both sides for semmitry (spl ?)I used a phillips screw driver on each corner to make "dimples"in the top of the hood for guidance.After I did that I cut the holes in the top of the hood with my dremel tool,I used a ruler to draw out my lines as well.I tried to keep the tabs on the vents so if I wanted to remove them at any time so it would be easier but the driverside ones busted off so I had to improvise.after that they pretty much just dropped in and held snug.
