Hoods with functional vents

[Alacran5280]

Anyone know of any Kia hoods with functional vents for the GT2 Scorpion? I’d be open to either a carbon fiber or color match but definitely want the functional vents. Looking online there seems to only be a few options.

Just wondering... why?

Where does the water go? I always ask that question when this topic is resurrected.

Personally not a fan of the fake vents that come on the stock hood. Looks kinda cheap in my opinion. If the vents are on the hood I’d rather them be functional or not on there at all.

Actually, never thought of that. I guess it disappears somewhere in there

I do agree that the fake vents are silly. I would be more irritated if they were real though because I like keeping my engine bay very clean.

I'd kill for active vents, really need to dissipate all that hot air especially here in Oz. The build up of heat through the carpet and transmission tunnel is mad. I've found I've got to keep the AC on all year round.

Active? Like motorized flaps?

Like on a Hyundai Sonata?

"check Active Air Flap System"

Checking to see how many people have had this problem? Problem: "check active air flap system" coming on the center screen where you usually have the Eco score.

The pics are not revealing to me. I look for HOLES where the vents are. The challenge is how to vent engineroom heat through holes, while keeping water out. In S. Korea (this was back in 2018) there was an aftermarket mod that cut the hood away underneath, the aftermarket vents were screened, and collecting boxes with drain hoses that ran forward to just behind the radiator were snapped into place (the boxes were magnetized) when it was precipitating or you ran through a car wash: it was an either/or setup, you either collected water, or you dissipated heat, but not both at the same time.

There are 5 holes on each side of the hood. Let's just hope they do something. Also i removed the hood seal in the back hoping to keep engine compartment cooler.

I’ve seen some hoods with rain guards which offer the functionality with some protection as well. Wonder if they sell them separately?

Thats a good point also. They are pretty expensive too so probably will make some other mods in the meantime. Appreciate your insight!

Seibon OE carbon hood is what would run, with pins.
