Please note that if you live in a northern climate where they salt the roads, the road mist during freeze/thaw cycles, the splashy muck that gets kicked up by the tires is full of salt.

Salt is a corrosive.

Salt eats up electronics even quicker than it does sheet metal.

This is what killed my old Geo Tracker of 20 years.

Just a warning.

I am getting confused about your concept, at one point it sounds like these hood vents are supposed to increase air flow to under the truck.

The only way they will do that is if they are sucking air in.

Then at another point it sounds like the vents are to exhaust air.

You need to post a simple diagram of your proposed concept.
