My thought of line going like:
if hood needs to be cut to install hood louvers anyway, so why not cut instead behind side fenders decorative inserts and make them functional to pass out air from under bonnet reducing temps in same way as hood lovers do? As side bonus - no need for any rain guards. Con being that side fender insert area is less then hood louvers'.
No clue which is better airflow drag wise, to pass above hood or pass to sides.
I was thinking about ordering the kit and installing 2 of the vents on the hood and then installing the other two on the fenders. Might require a bit of bending to get them to mount flush on the fender but I doubt that would be too hard.
