So here is where I am currently at on the vented hood idea. Thanks to olejoedad for the hood to cut up! Thoughts or opinions? I have test driven it and seems to lower the temps compared to the PISA ZR-2 vented hood that is currently on it.

We had quite a discussion on hood vent placement in This thread  .. but where you've located them is fine. It will absolutely be superior to no vents in regards to cooling.

I actually have vents with the PISA hood, but it vents into the base of the windshield. There is a reason Chevy chose to make "Cowl Induction" instead of "Cowl Extraction", needless to say it doesnt work much better than a closed hood, and looks stupid as well! Can't wait to get rid of it once this gets painted.

Thanks Joe!
Still fine tuning the bodywork before I get it painted. I didn't use any forms or anything so a lot of eying it up and sanding to make them symmetrical.

What is the paint color that matches the underside of the hood?

No idea, the hood I got from Joe was already painted on by someone.
I used a Krylon Satin Black, which I didn't like so I scuffed it to where it is now. Prob go get a can of Matte Black and see how that does.

The closest match I found in a rattle can is this. Matches really good and dries evenly..
