I bought used fender garnish to experiment with. I would love to just slot the stock black trim and cut the back out first. Worse case if it does not look good I can cut it out and put in a new grill. Then I need to match the cuts on the fender. Once I get it, I will start some planning. Any ideas or input?

I'm not an aero expert, but at interstate and above speeds wouldn't it become pressurized? The intent is to vent from the engine compartment correct? On a stock car, there is significant pressure in the engine bay that causes the hood to deflect upward at higher speeds. |

The stock hood is just flimsy aluminum, you're talking about a larger surface area for the pressures to act on. Hence the death rattle. |

I've been following this thread because functional vents would be baller, of course BUT I had no idea the hood shaking at highway speeds had a name. I've noticed that over the last 1.5 months ownership and I've thought that maybe the play in the hinge or something needs to be adjusted LOL. Death Rattle.

My concern is to do this correct, because years ago on the NAsioc forum, I remember someone doing similar things to reduce under hood temps. One finding was that it effectEd the flow over the radiator negatively which is something you don’t want to do unless it’s more flow. I can’t remember what the modification was. I will do some searching of the internet. My feeling is holes in the right place is good, holes in the wrong place is neutral to bad. I don’t want to do this much modification for a DD just because Racecar.

I did this 2 years ago. Hot air POURS out of them when the engine fans are running. at speed it must be even more.
3M tape is holding them on just fine. Keep in mind that venting the pressure reduces the force imparted on the trim piece. |

Did you cut out any additional metal from the inner fenders?
