[nam.qhc]

the vents for it to look stylish? or for cooling?

my 2cents: if its for cooling, could always do the hood mod which raises the hood up on a angle from the windscreenwipers side of the hood.

EDIT: and thats cheap cheap too!

yeah its for cooling.. im sorry bro.. but "raises the hood up on a angle from the windscreenwipers side of the hood." doesnt make sense to me >< sorry.

sorry but what kind of vent looks good on an eg civic? dont tell me you're going to double side tape some autobarn vents to your hood?

might just go buy a new hood if u want a vent.
the onyl one ive seen that i rckn looks good on a eg whilist keeping it looking 100% jdm style is the one on a black eg hatcchie on the youtube vid FF squad at buttonwillow.
others imo, just cant stand it. also especially with fender vents.

If you want vents, grab an angle grinder, cut some big holes in your bonnet, then drive into a tree.

goddamnit you watched me do that didnt you! stole my idea!!

but seriously. dont bother. vents are only gonna do something if you have 1. a top mount intercooler like a rexy (which i doubt you do) or 2. the vent is feeding cold air to your filter, and im sorry, but a vent in the middle of your bonnet isnt going to do that....

im not sure how you expect a single vent to cool it THAT much, you'd be better off raising the bonnet mounting.
