Please help me identify this hood vent.
I saw this on good win racing website and I want one. Can anyone tell me what brand it is?

i checked it out and I believe that’s it. Trying to find the best place to purchase it from. Thanks! |
Probably should be mounted further forward, if that is feasible. Check out the pressure distribution maps.

I agree. I just need to find the right one now and the best place to get it. |
Huh, I’m pretty sure the owner mounted it as far back as possible after referring to said pressure maps.
|
Can someone tell me what year car to spruce this from to ensure I get the correct one?

So I ordered the WRX pooper scooper. Can anyone advise me on how I can install this with out compromising the hood structure as I hear when cutting out the bracing, it makes the hood weak and flimsy.
im hoping I can simply trim the areas on the vent to go over the bracing and keep it in place. Does that sound like an option? |
The bracing is going to block a lot of the airflow. Plenty of people have cut it out to install various vents. It won't be a big issue if you don't lean on the hood.

Looks to be about even with the headlight covers. It isn't that critical, just eyeball it.
More important that it's completely square to the front of the hood. If it's the least bit crooked, you'll see it. |
