Sorry for jumping in with an old question... I never got a clear answer on a different thread
How does modifying...cutting holes in the back of the engine bay, black plastic near the brake ? lines, on the passenger side, affect under bonnet heat ?

While you kids were out dancing in air conditioned bars, I did this...
Underhood...still in progress...black stuff is from DFIC seal that was removed during cutting and needs clean-up...
OOOooooooooo...looki what under the bonnet? The A$$ end of the DFIC...
Time to jump into the shower...for the third time......:impatient

EDIT: you answered my question while I was still typing.

I thought it was going to be too uncontrollable and tried a cut off wheel but that was just heating up the hood and going no where...the nibbler was too fast but I managed to maintain control long enough

Those holes look like a P-R-O-fessional cut them.

Hey do me a favor,
can you snap a pic of the underside of the hood just behind your hole on the drivers side?
Thanks
EDIT: that's this pic...
You don't happen to have another pic like this showing this bracing all the way to
the back of the hood? on the drivers side.

Want to come to Atl and install some for me........I really like it
Might as well make it two, to avoid having to come back later...
Instead of venting our frustrations on a board, we could have a real venting party!
I would never cut my thousand dollar hood for louvers. I just think it looks like they belong in the 80's on a dodge daytona, Delorean or 300z. No offence...
Other than that, You have a really nice car!
