From the link.
This hood will come with an open functional vent
Functional how? Seems a bit gimmicky.

Not for me but I like it, looks pretty similar to the 4Runner Sport. I’ll be honest our stock hood could use some more lines or a raised middle, it’s pretty flat and doesn’t have any dimension.

I was expecting this to be from Seibon, reminds me a lot of the Tacoma TRD Sport/Pro hood. Its not for me (trucks with carbon fiber), but I can see this being popular as the GX platform is becoming more popular with the overlanding craze.

Also serves as a sun glare enhancer, at least that's what it does on my Tacoma.

If my valve cover is leaking, how much do I tighten the bolts to potentially stop it?
