Hood Vents

[suzook86]

Searched, but I'm not sure if I read it here or another "Z" site, but there was a disscussion about these vents (pic). For those interested they are being sold on ebay for $125 a pair.

Not sure that I get your post...are you looking for hood vents or are you the one selling those? If so, I apologize for the upcomming comments. Those aren't OEM (duh!) and don't look as good as OEM, in fact, they look ricey (IMO) and only fit a 77-78 hood. But, like I said, I might have missed the purpose of this post.

Damn Stephen, I was all set to buy those until I read your ricey comment

Ricey? It IS a japanese car afterall. I like them and am considering them for my 77 turbo car. Maybe they will match my ricey wheels.........

I believe they were discussed at Hybrid Z with regards to reducing underhood pressure. I know they were tested in the windtunnel and shown to have a positive effect, rendering them riceless in my opinion.

For my money I'd buy some "alligator tooth" style vents, which are better at reducing underhood pressure, but probably more ricey looking.

I'm not suggesting not to buy them if you like them. I did state 'IMO' and I even apologized prior to the comment in an attempt not to ruffle any feathers....I guess that failed!

No need to apologize, as stated, I recalled a disscussion about the vents, they were being sold on ebay, and I am in no way connected with their sales. I repect your opinion Sblake as they are definately not OEM for purists sake. However, for those not so inclined I think they look good, but a little pricey IMO.
