The vents look less than optimal. Why don't you focus on a functional design that may actually work? 1000$ for a wet cf hood (not a cf layer over frp) may be a great deal.

This design has been discussed with Knight Sports Boss himself, Hidefumi Nakamura... Vents need not be so big... Hot air just needs an avenue of escape... So this is more than sufficient with 6 venting on the sides and 2 at the center...
If u did not read clearly, this is meant for REAL carbon fiber skeleton. Pure carbon fiber... Not CF layered over. Therefore, justifying the reasonable price...

Lolz !!!
Cheers mate...
Regarding the vents, The Japanese guy said that actually the 2 middle vents were more than enough...
If ure referring to the vents to close to the front because it will be near the battery, he said it shouldnt be a problem with the battery cover on... Only possible problem would be the steering harness which is prone to faults...
But then again, that itself is located directly below our coolant tank! Lolz...
As for this car, it has been properly 'ziplock' it's steering harness and had relocated the battery to the boot... Plus V-mount! So hot air is blowing downwards instead of the traditional upwards direction.

God that is nice, if I just didn't drop over $3k on my car in the past month, I'd be interested. It looks like a cowl induction hood in the middle. Any pics of it on a regular RX8 with standard body work?
