I'm reluctantly looking to add some hood vents to my car. This is not a choice for aesthetics, but rather function. That being said, I'd still like them to look nice. I've seen a few cars with hood vents, but many of them are over the top. Right now I have a cheap set of "Focus RS" vents that I think look okay and are fairly subtle. Does anyone else have ideas?

The '71 510 Coupe had fake vents not too unlike those.... viewtopic.php?t=26180 quarter way down.

Re: Hood Vents
They must have been a Japanese only option and quite rare. I don't believe I've ever seen them on a car before. I did see some nice louvers on an old Celica or Subaru. I'll have to find the pics. Not exactly what I'm looking for, but they were subtle and functional.

The Subaru Brat also had some small louvers.
The Celica units stick out a bit, but they're still subtle to me in many ways.
