my friend has that hood for his car. He was really concerned because the vent sits right over the intake for the turbo. So I cut a piece of Lexan glass in the shape of the opening, and used clear silicon in a caulking gun and siliconed it on, and than you can have the option of putting the vent on after. I prefered it without, it looks awesome.

Only problem with Lexan is that is scratches very very easily. Hence, why i used silicon to put it on, so if any reason being why he wants to take it off than i can cut the silicon off to put on a new piece.

Let me know if that helps
