What did you do to your Supra today?

[oreobbq]

Installed some louvers.

Awesome to see more hood installs. Forgive me for saying this...these style of vents look like they came from a backyard shed or something.

One more hood vent install...

I replaced my Verus carbon fiber with the larger one from Triple Seven. I originally wanted the carbon fiber one but bought the matte black one for $300 less and had it painted gloss black to match the A-pillars and Maxton lip.

Glad I went with the black plastic one because I had to position it pretty far forward where the original cut from the Verus one was and is flexible enough to seal completely around the edges. Something tells me the carbon fiber one would be stiffer and would have difficulty keeping the edges down around the hood curvature.

I’ve had mine for 3 years without problems. I always use extra 3M tape on installs to be safe. Are you running stock exhaust?

Running HKS hi power catback. I ended up making 2 new brackets for additional support and using a self tapping screw in the middle of the diffuser. Much stronger now

For the price can’t expect them to be carbon fiber or anything.

ironically, RaceLouvers probably has more wind tunnel and cfd testing than all other carbon vent vendors combined.

Speaking of which, did you mean stagger them like that? One is a little closer to the front than the other. Was this planned?

No. They’re not staggered. Just the angle of the picture.

Nah, I think they're a little staggered. @razorlab did the same thing, but his were crooked. I am a professional photographer and have a very good eye for these things. It's not terrible. Maybe no one else will notice.

 

[Erty]

Yeah, it's kind of crooked man, oh well nobody's perfect!

 

[razorlab]

And people say I am a troll, lmao

 

[SooopraSD]

lol if you guys say so.

No measuring tools were used AND I’m cross eyed.

 

[racebuild]

Everyone cutting hoods, I’ll join.
