So, one of the projects with my Saturn involves hood vents, partly to reduce drag by evacuating hot engine bay air onto the hood, and partly to reduce engine temperatures during hard driving. I finally received my order of four pairs of a roughly 4x8” vent, and am working on deciding on where to place them, other than remembering seeing the CFD analysis of the Ion coupe and seeing where people that race the Ion Redline put their hood vents.

My first question regards the vents themselves. They could be mounted either totally flush with the hood surface, with the vent portion inside the hood, or with the vent portion sticking above the hood. Any thoughts on this conundrum?
