Hood Vent Examples
From Sevenstock 2016. There are lots of purchased carbon hoods, but I tried getting some pictures of cooler/better designs. Allot of them are just for venting, but a few are ducted. This is just to give a few examples, sorry there weren't more Rx8 vents but most people don't cut holes in their hood or bodywork.
787B 4 Rotor
787 4 Rotor
IMSA Rx7 4 Rotor
Intake Duct
792P 4 Rotor
FD Carbon Hood
FD 3 Rotor Carbon Hood
Rx8 Siebon TSII Carbon Hood
FD Mesh Stock Cutouts
I can't see this flowing allot, the holes are very small, but it probably helps a tiny tiny bit.
Rx3 TrackSpec Vents
The two outermost ones are ducted right on top of the oil coolers, the center one is not ducted, but help air through the radiator, the ones at the rear are to relieve pressure (IDK, but apparently the hood would flex at speed). This is one of my favorites.
FD Giant cutout stock
This was a vendors car after an engine fire on the passengers side. The black strip behind at the top cutout is just a banner in the background.
FC stock cutout
Just a rubber thing peeling off.
These were probably my favorite. They look really clean from the outside and half decent from the inside.
Rx8 Home Depot A/C Register
Also a favorite.

It's tough to choose between the RE Amemiya and the Varis, both are very cool and the paint work make them outstanding.
Imagine Sonics with hedgehogs painted on the vents.

It's a spare oem hood that I cut up all diy style, the 'vent' is a sheet of aluminum that's cut and powder coated. The cuts are 1" hexagons that you can twist along their axis.
