So I've been looking around for hoods and or trackspec vents for some cooling and to stop the hood from shaking like it was possessed on the straights and well, I can't afford either lol. So I decided to utilize my own stock hood, a gt500 vent, and some wannabe 2013-14 vents I copped off the interwebs. So here's a little diy how to tech on how to vent the crap out of your stock 2010-2012 hood.
So I got lucky cause my wife works for ford and she got me th 2010-214 gt500 vent for 89 bucks.
The vent is too wide for the 2010-2012 hood bulge so I made the decision to chop it up.
I made some templates and after some tedious measuring I found the spot where I thought the vents would be most effective
I also placed them where there was hardly any framing so cutting was as smooth as possible.
After the holes were cut I tested the fitment and for the vents to fit as flush as possible the tabs have to be cut and sanded down.
I decided to go the extra mile and do a little body work and paint with some rustoleum paint. (Lays down the nicest and smoothest).
After the paint dried for 2 days I went ahead and riveted the vents down. And here's the finished product.
Hope you guys enjoy the write up and give you guys some ideas.
