First, not a bad how-to, but there are a few steps I definitely would advise on including for anyone doing this..You should always cover up the engine with a blanket/trash bag to keep metal debris from getting all over the engine bay, whenever cutting into a hood. You should also get some touch-up paint ($20 or so at dealerships) and spend the 5 minutes it takes to file/paint the cut surfaces...it'll keep it from chipping/rusting/etc. Also, rivets work, but the high seal glue/sealant will hold without needing to drill into the hood, and its a perfect seal all the way around the vent. You can clearly see how flimsy that hood was when drilling, and afterwards there is a gap under the vent and the hood...debris/dirt/water will get in there and build up. These are just basic steps to take to do it right the first time...kind of hard to undo rivets...so I'd also take time to tape down the vent, measure out the rivet locations, and use pilot holes from a much smaller bit at first vs just drilling into the vent sitting loosely in the cut area .

These didnt turn out bad, but a lot of ppl will do the same and be in a hurry and do it wrong or mess up when they could have prevented making any mistakes. Also, WHERE you place the vents makes a difference...try not to just leave vents like this directly above open air filters or fuse boxes or where water will puddle next to coils/plugs/etc... You can buy hydrophobic mesh for around $20 that you can secure underneath the vent to prevent water from getting into the engine bay, if you're not going to use a plate/something to divert water away from anything under the vent. The mesh allows air to vent but does not allow water/dirt to get in (same material used on ATVs/motorcycles/air filters).

A cutting wheel would’ve done a better job instead of a jigsaw also I would’ve added some seam sealer or polyurethane adhesive for a cleaner look

I wish all car mod installation videos were like this 1. From the how to to the last rolling shots. Perfect! I’m new to your channel and I’m impressed. Keep it up!!

it looks super cool! one I would put a painters tarp over my motor for all those metal shavings, and I would also do some type of gasket underneath the lip of the vents. I wouldn't mind doing that to my truck. you guys are kick ass!

I would of looked for black rivets, or done something to get rid of the silver. Otherwise, it looks awesome. He's braver than I am, I would never want to cut into my hood.

Lovin these builds man! Definitely helps me convince my girl to do more mods on my car if I’m doin it cheap n efficient lol

Possibly the cleanest ricer-roni on YouTube hands down ✊

I would use a sealant rather than rivots or use in together to keep all the gaps sealed. Love the look but a finished professional job is what we all admire.

[edwardvazquez]

It looks really good but you should've used urethane between the vent and hood and put some paint under the hood where you cut because it's going to rust

[chrisasaurus]

Awesome man, I was planning on adding the vents from an RS. Nice video helps me out

[aayush]

THATS A NICE WAY TO EXPLAIN MAN
NICE WORK THOUGH

Before I do mines. I need to know is there any issues when water gets on the water engine and engine parts? If rain or snow can I block the vents off during the winter seasons?

Love what ya'll did with that civic, looks clean af

[BWTECH]

this is a bit ricy but it actually works in the car's favor because it already has an overstyled design. The gloss black blends in nicely with the other style bits. Looks awesome!

[ProdxTZA]

This is amazing. I'm loving this channel more with every video!

[boyscout-pu]

wont rain water pouring in damage the engine electricals etc

[MatthewArmswood]

Super sick video, loved how it turned out

[wyattalspaugh]

Bro, that turned out really good, probs to you 👏👏👏

[phillipjknight]

Great idea but its killing me seeing ripples in the bonnet and no edge seal.

[eh]

Dumb question.. So like.. What if it rains bad one day and ur driving, would water get in there.. Can someone explain how that works or if it's safe
