Is it possible for you to produce an additional set of 4 vents to match the spacing of the hood behind the existing ones you have already produced for additional venting? Maybe have a street (4) and race (8) vent set.

It's likely the rear vents will not be as efficient at removing/evacuating air, but yes we can. I am working with someone already who asked us for this, I will let him test it and ensure it works before looking to go to production.

Update: New mounting style features studs that are hardly noticeable. These are not powdercoated, only flat black spray paint. Powder will reduce the amount you can see the studs even further

. Will get more pictures up soon.

Awesome news about the studs! I'll be very interested to see what this could look like on my Asphalt

We cannot release pricing per forum rules, so you'll have to wait till they're posted for sale, sorry.

Release for bare units will be sometime mid-late January. For the powder coated units it will be a few weeks after that due to the coating.

Below is a CAD photo. It's quite simple, just a trough created from sheet metal that collects the water and dumps it forward.

A few more photos of the vents on car.

How wet can you expect the inside of the bay to get without the guards driving around in moderate rain?

Vent the rear of the Radiator out the hood I.E:

I answered my own question though. Without quite a bit of work on the front end, it isn't possible with my turbo kit. So I will wait patiently for the vents to be released.

Love the engineering of these vents, they're definitely designed to maximize functionality, however, I personally think it that two vents would look better than all four. Any chance you guys can offer a lower cost option for either the inner pair or the outer pair?

@Ultramaroon I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts about the first post and their design since we were talking about me getting my hood louvered.

I too would be interested in seeing the outermost vents extended similar to the
Aston Vantage vents.

I think they look awesome and I cannot wait to cut some holes in my hood for these.
