Ok, as stated before, I love these - and I don't want to come off as questioning your method of adhesion - but how well will that black silicone hold up to under-hood temps? Did you use the "hi-temp RTV" type stuff?
Second question - did you notice your engine temp dropping at all? Can you "see" the heat coming out from the vents?
Good write up - looks like I have some cutting to do!!!
He said he used high temp silicone in the thread on JF. I'm curious about that too, but I dig the vents.
See how Eric made drip pans for his hood vents. look at the bottom of the page.I plan to do these in the near future, but am worried about water
Yeah if you notice differences while driving, imagine while wheeling! Hammered has hood vents and when he is wheeling you can see heat billowing out of em!

Those grills look sweet. I guess I'd be worried about rain and snow here in Wasatch Mountains I am putting in some Cherokee hood louvers from Rocky Road outfitters over the winter. I hope they are a little more forgiving from a climatic standpoint.
Where they're located it looks like they'll drop water on the fuel injector and throttle body harnesses, along with the IAC, TPS, and MAP perhaps (and the CPS, if the water goes down the back of the block...) personally, I would rather waterproof the sensors fully with silicone and dielectric grease than put drip pans on, it seems to me like drip pans would impede airflow a lot. That's just my guessing though, I haven't tried this.
