What do ya'll think of hood vents on cars? Pros/Cons.
I always wonder about rain and moisture in the engine bay, but on the other hand, like the idea of venting heat from the engine bay.
These Toyota cars generate considerable amounts of heat in there.

I would like to get a vented hood for my sc400 for my car generates alot of heat during the summer. The only bad thing is that every ricer/camaros, stangs will want to race me.
Vented hood+sc400=racer ( according to racers/ricers).

joshthorsc, Hmmm.
Yeah, I don't like too much holes all oaver the place, as I sitll want as close to stock as possible look.
However, I do like the hood vent that the Nissan 280Z has. It's kinda like the NACA type scoops that's also flush with the hood, very nice & functional.
What's your thoughts on that one?

They look good on cars that have a sporty look. WRX, Evo, and even the SRT-4 pull it off IMO, and they're functional unlike the damn Ford Mudstain hoods
but I don't think a SC400 that doesn't have rims, kit, drop, etc would look good with a hood scoop. I don't know if your SC is stock or not, but just my opinion.
