No worries..some like there cars with modifications that make them look different or as you would say rice. Some like there cars looking stock or boring.its all good as long as you enjoy your car ..there is some nice aftermarket hoods you guys might like better..that have no hood vents at all ..I kind of wish that Drake would have made heat extractors like they did for the 2015 to 2017 hoods For the 18/19 the ones with the mesh and bolts.
Mine's far from stock. I just don't do rice, especially when its so high priced. Here's a few pics of some of my external mods. Have a great day!

sorry guys, I don't like the look of any of these. I like the RTR one's the best, and I'm still on the fence about em, just look awkward on these hoods, all of em do.
This is where I stand too. I haven't seen any vents that to me feel like they add to the car. Just IMO do nothing to it or look worse.
Also what i did before I went with the airdesigns vents was I had the stock hood vent in gloss black .I like it

Yeah, that's pretty much where I am at. Lots of this kind of stuff just looks tacked on, kinda ricer to me anyways. I'm definitely not a dude who buys 2 pieces of cheaply made plastic for $200+ when it makes the car look worse and still doesn't provide much functionality (actually cooling underhood temps).
They're probably as functional as the stock vents, which isn't much at all. I just don't care for the stock ones at all. They're very Meh for such an aggressive looking car. Had all the "vents" been open, it would be more functional. The actual open vent is bigger than the stock one. I'm just very very particular. I've even gone through and slowly started tightening up all the panel gaps.

Here's a close up. You can see how large the functional vent is.
Pics honestly don't give the car justice. In person, it looks fantastic.

Nice looking vents! Probably the sharpest one's I've seen. Kind of on the fence in regards to adding vents or an aftermarket hood. Obviously the vents would be less expensive. Where did you order them from? Thanks!

These are pretty solid - the OEM vents are too small, they don't balance well vs. the size of the hood (the S550.1 vents are definitely better). That being said, since I'm likely headed to a MY18+, I'm kind of looking for a way to improve them.

I think I found the source, umm, the site seemed a little janky, no US version[?] Can either of the owners provide a link?

Yeah, the domain had a .mx / Mexican suffix, which is totally cool if that's the source, just thinking maybe there's a US distributor to simplify things a bit.
Agreed, that would simplify things! How bout a link guy's! :)
