Heat Extractors (hood vents)

[RyRy 0731]

Not sure if there is already a forum out there for this topic, but can anyone share or write up how to remove the hood vents? I want to have them wrapped/painted in black.

Also this thread can serve as an area for members to post pics of their cars who have already done or are in the process of doing this!

I hear Jimmy used a prybar on it, just wrapped it in paper towels first so the dents didn't mar the paint.

Don't take this guy seriously please....
They probably come off from underneath, remove the hood liner and have a look!

Roush actually has instructions for removing and installing their heat extractors on their website.

Which I ordered the other day (Roush vents)

I was under the hood today and the vents appear to be clipped in place, they should be pretty easy to remove/replace.

Are those heat extractors even functional? If you arent cutting more slots out of the actual hood, will it even allow more air to flow up?

I was looking at the Roush set, but having to drill holes is off putting.

I agree the drill is very "off putting"

Hahahaha love it! :lol: or were you being serious?

I am hoping some company will make aftermarket ones that snap in place, something more aggressive. I too was looking at the roush ones and drilling a hole on the underside of the hood did turn me off, but then again it's on the underside and they do give you clear coat to prevent rust... Still don't like the drill on the hood though.

Drill holes is too much?

I was and am more than willing to cut the holes in the hood bigger as is the Roush pieces won't work any better than the stock ones.

I'm thinking of simply having them wrapped or painted... here is a little PhotoShop action of my car...

Im gonna have a Crocodile Dundee moment. Those arent heat extractors, THESE are heat extractors...

Tiger Racing to the rescue.
