Vented replacement hood
I have been seeing a few replacement hoods for the RX 8 on ebay. One that I really like has either 4 or 6 vent/slits in the hood. Has anyone installed one of these? Will they help keep the engine bay cool, or are they only aesthetic?

be very careful about the ebay hoods....some of the fitment is crap and materials are crap.....make sure its made by a reputable place....the aluminum hood is real close in weight to the cf so its mostly aesthetic....mine is the same as the oem but cf so i cant tell you about heat dissipation but i just wanted to warn you
