I looked at it today but didn't look closely at the edges. I think I know what you're talking about but I'll have to reinspect. The cowl trim piece serves as a big inlet chamber for the HVAC, so any venting except for the very edges would get sucked into the cabin.

@Tcoat
What about cutting the side fender open into engine bay.... I know those are not that effective but it should work to a certain point too? |

I saw that model and I don't think it's detailed enough to check. I've already discarded the idea due to HVAC interference, but you realize the vent would be recessed under the back of the hood about 4 inches or so towards the front? And the CFD model doesn't consider the radiator airflow, which is the target of the venting. If airflow into the engine compartment is high enough, the firewall can create a high pressure zone too. I'm guessing that is what makes the hood dance at speed.
