NA/NB Hood Vent Group Buy #2
NA/NB Hood Vent Group Buy #2
Keep your car cool and looking cool!
For a couple years we have been selling our NA Miata Hood Vents and NB Miata Hood Vents. What sets our design apart for the rest is that they are designed around the OEM hood bracing. This gives the car an OEM plus look while maintaining the rigidity of the hood. We are now pleased to announce that we are releasing a Five Panel vent set up for the NA Miata chassis.

Why vent your hood?
The cooling system in all water cooled cars work by pumping coolant through the engine to absorb heat, then pumping the hot coolant through your radiator to cool the hot coolant before pumping it back into the hot engine. The radiator cools the coolant by letting air from the front of the car pass through the radiator to absorb the heat and take it away. After the hot air passes through the radiator, it is trapped in the engine bay and has to find crevices to escape. This causes a high air pressure region under the hood and restricts the flow of air through your radiator.
There are many ways to optimize the efficiency of your radiator. Venting your hood greatly increases it by giving the hot air from the radiator an escape route up and over the top of the car. As an added bonus, venting the air up and over the car will create a slight increase in front end downforce. It isn't a big increase that you may not notice, but it is there.
The last reason on why to vent your hood... Let's face it, it looks really cool!
