Custom Hood vs Hood Duct
Opinions on the difference between hood duct and custom hood with built in hood duct type.
I was looking at the TS- Style Siebon http://seiboncarbon.com/tsii-style-c...ubaru-brz.html Currently in stock I would need to buy that, have someone paint it black OEM color for my Subaru BRZ so could see it adding up cost fast but if it is worth it and makes a difference in look compared to the hood duct I would be fine with it. I have never had a custom hood or hood duct on a car so curious on that as well. I see several hood ducts that I assume a car shop could just add to my current hood? Something like the following: https://shop.namelessperformance.com...d-duct-system/ Thoughts and main differences between the two or am I way off? Leaning towards the Siebon TS-Style hood but want to make sure when I buy it I can get someone to pain the carbon fiber and fitted and have no issues. |

From an aesthetic standpoint, I would go for the carbon variety, paint it, and leave the carbon louvres unpainted. Then again, it's always form>function for me. My two cents

If you are going to paint a carbon fiber hood it defeats the purpose to me. From what I know most consumer level carbon fiber bits are carbon fiber molded/stuck onto a hood shaped piece of fiberglass. My 2 cents

Factory hood is surprisingly light for what it is.
Unless you have other reasons for wanting to switch, or just a different look. |
These look cool! About half the price of a hood.

Some that look sleeker... https://i.imgflip.com/22v9ea.jpgvia Imgflip Meme Generator https://i.imgflip.com/22v9j3.jpgvia Imgflip Meme Generator My $0.02 I live in Oregon. My louvered hood let water sit on my engine and corroded the aluminum parts which made them look terrible. (different car) |

Has anyone drilled holes in the windshield cowl? Seems like it would be a good stealth way to vent the engine compartment.

I bought this Mustang hood vent off e-bay for 90 bucks. |

Here's an example of what I'm thinking about using the 2019 ZR1. Ignore for a second that its hood vent caused a dramatic change to the high pressure zone in the center of the windshield. Just look at the area I zoomed in on and notice how the high pressure area on the windshield ends at roughly the height of the back of the hood, and what's under that point is low pressure.
