This seems like the most logical next step

Would people like us to come to market with the rear louvers?

I want to say yes, but I know that there's no way I personally am going to have the ambition to actually install them haha. Would love to see testing on whether or not these actually help vent heat generated on the passenger side (anything to relieve coilpack stress). Letting heat out from that side specifically would be nice for those of us with a downpipe coming off of a hot turbo on that side.

I think it'd be cool to see louvers made if the car was kswapped and do some heat extraction on the left side.

Have you guys ever considered doing electronic hood vents like the AMG One uses on its front fenders?

I imagine with linkage + 1 servotronic motor it could work but I’m sure this could get wildly expensive.

Unfortunately, this would be hard for us as our shop car has a 3sge in it now. Maybe we can convince one of our shop guys with a BRZ to put holes in his hood.

This is a bit out of our purview. I do not think many would be willing to pay for the development costs and production costs associated with it. It is very cool though!

You guys need to come up with hood vent covers to keep rain, snow, locusts, etc. out of the engine bay when the car is not on the track.

Figured but thought I’d ask haha. What about the idea of manually collapsible louvers? Have an operating mechanism like window blinds but can lock in the “up position”.
