Do you have other driving lights? I had those and the lighting ahead wasn't that great {directly on the road in front of you } {Miss Deb's car}
Good question. Most people that have non pop up lights have found a dark area just to the right and left of the front corners of the car. I have heard that a set of driving lights installed out front in the scoop overcomes this problem. We bought a set but have not yet installed them.
I think it is a good idea. I actually started the same thing, but decided to go with a non-vented hood. I get lots of cooling without it. I think the concept is first rate though, and it will look exceptionally good when finished.
I did the Sunbird vents on a hood, got tired of it, (my flushmounts with the vents was too 'busy' a look for me) and tried to sell it. No takers although one guy wanted to buy just the vents.

Is this design going to be functional? I would think that the area behind the rise would create back pressure, and in turn actually push air into the vent rather then drawing it out. Similar to the relationship between a pickups roof and open bed. Whe you open the rear sliding windows of a pickup air will be forced into the cab not drawn out of the cab. This hood vent will be on a smaller scale but I would think a similar effect would take place. Just a thaught, I am by no means an aeronautical engineer. Could work great for all I know!
The style I have is also has help stability at higher speeds like others have mentioned. It is very effective on extracting heat and the windshield get warm to the touch. It does create the necessity to run the AC in recirculating mode in the summer if the T-tops are not off because so much heat in near the interior air intake.
