Hood Vents-Please Help!
I have asked thios several times and never got a good answer. I want to do something different to my hood, I really like these vents from overboost.com.
http://overboost.com/story.asp?id=152
But I can't find vents like this or others anywhere.
But my main question was, isn't water on the engine (especially with all my electronics) a problem. I know you can get some but I drive my car in the rain and I don't want a lot of water falling all over everything under the hood near my electronics.
Do you guys think they would look good on my car?
Thanks,
Matt

Hey Matt,
the vents you are talking about on the Black Gs400, are from the old 280 Z's. That hood was modified by Nomura Tuning and Design. The hood is original and the vents were inserted. Basically your hood would be cut. If you want the same look, you will have to go custom.
