how did it go in the rain? looks like your vents are directly over your air pod and the other sections seem to go over pipes which is not a problem.

great idea for getting rid of underbonnet temps when the car is stationary, and improving intake... but you're totally screwing the air channeling that goes on under the bonnet. smarter idea would be to cut those vents towards the back of the bonnet so when you're going at speed the air comes into the front, cools your parts and then goes out the back... instead of air coming in and straight out through your holes.

not bad DIY, but has anyone taken some real temperature measurements before and after cutting them?
