What did you do to your Supra today?

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.

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]

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

As an Innovation Evangelist Engineer Architect, I can confirm that this is not centered.

Can somebody explain to me why the hood vent wouldn't be shifted further back closer towards the turbo/dp exit? I'm no aerodynamics engineer so I'm legit just curious if anyone can explain.
