Hood Vents

Another picture

Oh they look great, perhaps I should have done mine whilst there also! You probably saw the Lightning pony. Hmmm more money:headbonk:

I see the that the vent sits "on" the hood; I assume the US hoods have a recessed hole for the vents. Still looks great either way. I'm tempted (though I'm not sure why - it's purely cosmetic at this point)

 

[McXtravert]

any thoughts on how this affects the structural integrity of the bonnet?

It won't. There is no cutting of any bracing, and the skin is already thin. Pushing vents in to bonnets/hoods is a common, so I doubt this does anything at all.

yeah the us ones sit recessed as the bonnet is pressed in. i'm popping down to see my coachworks guy at weekend see if he can recess and fold the bonnet down so I can get proper us style fitting. failing that cervini hood here I come

Let me know how you get on; I'd rather recess but I think the work would be too involved (or fatigue the skin too much(.

yes they are recessed,
But
when i saw the job Mike had done on his, it looked so good, and to me looked like Factory Spec, Mike also took loads of pictures of mine and also the liner so he could see exactly how they are fitted on the US cars, which helps him with the fitting on the UK cars
I have known Mike a few years, he took charge of my S197 and now this one. For me he treats every car as if it is his own, Fantastc quality from him and his team, I travel 200 Miles round trip cause i know I am getting pure quality. If I did not have hood vents I would trust him to do mine
put it this way, do a google search on Modurstang and see if you get one Bad review

I was, in no way, suggesting Mike or his team weren't great - I'm merely interested.
ModUrStang is a 200 mile round trip for me too - I did it last week!

I will probably be back up there in 6 months one way or another...

I thought about asking mike to fold the hood, but honestly, I think it's stupidly hard to do, and will probably lead to inconsistent folds, paint cracking etc. Not worth the time, hassle, risk or money, sooner just buy a new hood - be cheaper as well lol

As I type this I can't visualise a US hood so the MuS solution of mounting them on the surface just looks stock to me. Considering the process and fine tolerances involved its a top job they do.
Now off to spoil all that by looking at a US hood

Indeed there is.

There maybe a set of OMM hood vents up for sale btw.

 

[Burkey]

Can someone with the vents installed please upload pics from various angles?
I'm asking because I've seem pics of the Roush vents retrofitted to out bonnets and there is something about the way they fit that just isn't quite right. They taper differently at different points.
Just curious if the OEM do the same or whether they fit like a glove etc.
Cheers.

Go to the previous page. [MENTION=11298]Greg[/MENTION]_C Is the only person with evidenced pictures. It depends how you 'cut' the hood to how it tapes as the vents are angled. Spogshd cut a small home and used that to mount, whereas Modurstang cut the entire size of the vent and sit it all level and bond it in.

I'll have more prominent pictures of my vents on and in on Wednesday, as mines gloss black on a red car ;)!

I see them! That would be devilishly difficult to replicate on a painted hood without damaging the finish i'd say. Mounted on the surface looks fine for a good price.

It's the distance to ModUrStang that would be the barrier. Plus i'd have them black and would have to add twin or Supersnake stripes to match...and then we'd be into a whole new world of expense
