Like others said, I'm not sure this would be a job I would undertake, but kudos for you taking it on. Looks good.
This is a mod I plan on adding in the near future as I work up through the faster speed classes in the Big Bend open Road Races. Mostly for the advertised front downforce increase at higher speeds. The wheel well vents will also help relieve the high pressure induced drag inside the wheel well but only if relief cut outs are opened up on top of the stock wheel wells just under the vents. Since it is reducing lift this mod should allow increased front down force with less HP loss than a front splitter. Heat dissipation is a nice secondary benefit. I enjoy your channel.
Looks great you have done some fine quality work on that corvette.
This looks fantastic!!! We were cheering you on in the video😊
Can’t wait till summer to report back on engine temps.
cutting the hood stressed me out!!! Looks really good! Just wondering what happens when it rains not while driving...
Wow! I would be so afraid to even start this mod. Fantastic job! Looks amazing!
Thank you!
Loving your content man!
Thanks dude 👍😎
Nice job , looks great. Jigsaw looks like the way to go , I’m going to start with center vent on my c5.
Nice work looks great.
Keep up the C5 mods! Looking good
Much appreciated!
Outstanding!
Looks good 👍
Thanks man 👍🤙
Looks amazing. Might be able to take my truck if you keep at it
*insert Ross from friends "get a load of this guy" meme*
Those look really good. Im curious how they will do in keeping the engine cooler. I live in Alabama and im already thinking of getting a remote control for the fans so i can manually turn them on since they wait so long to kick on full blast. Sitting on grid at autocross in July isn't great for the C5, it likes to be moving! That said, I don't think I could cut holes in my hood right now! My car is too stock and too low miles. Maybe if I keep her another 5 years or so. Also, as far as seats, I have the Corbeau A4 leather seats. They look really nice in the car (i found a set on FB that were basically new but much cheaper). I will say that they have good bolstering but they aren't as comfortable on longer drives than the stock seats (even with the lumbar bladder). The bottom of the seat is pretty firm and doesn't have a lot of padding and sometimes my lower back can get a bit tight riding in them for a while. The main issue with them is that I can't get the seat back quite as far since they bear into the seatbelt housing and the center console and just don't go back as far as stock seats. So the leg room is overall a bit worse which is not great for me at 6'1" with long legs. But I still recommend them overall, and especially if you are doing more high performance driving/cornering but dont want a race seat.
Looks nice ! Considering this mod since the desert hates bottom feeders.
Do it. I've noticed a very noticeable temperature decrease. I'll do a follow up video soon
Looks good! I think I would prefer to just do the center vent... all 3, to me seem a little much. Would there be any disadvantage to just the center? Last question.... is the any concern with the rigidity or the hood since it appeared that some of the support structure had to be cut? Love your channel... always very informative.
Very interested in any engine oil/coolant temp difference. Thanks!!
Love the look and the idea of getting the heat out, just don't think i can bring myself to chopping my hood up, did you re install the blanket cut to match, or just leave it out?
Keep us updated on how you like this upgrade, looks great!
Haha there was definitely a hesitation and I looked at a replacement hood cost before I started (wasn't terribly expensive) so I went for it!
Looks great! Question: The under hood insulation, do you cut it and re-install it? Or did you leave it off completely? 👍✌️
Hi..Love your vids. I have a question about your car. The rear spoiler and front splitter...are those standard on a Z06 ? I just bought a '99 convertible and it has those items on it. Just wondered if they are aftermarket or factory. Thanks !!!
Oh no, all aftermarket. Only the wheels I have, the notch back FRC roof line & rear wheel vents are stock.
Nice work - I think this mod should be required with headers 4 sure - soo much heat - needs a way out!!
100%! In a follow up video I'll show the heat escaping the hood when you are idle. It's very gratifying.
Not a fan of this mod, but think it could be super if they were painted? Nice work on install & tips though
“You just ruined a 1 of 2 corvette!” 🥴🤪 But seriously I’d love to do this I just don’t think I’d have the balls to actually cut up my blue hood 🙊🫣
Haha.. there was definitely a "whelp.. here we go 🥺🥲🫣" moment. But I love the way it turned out. My wife rarely says anything about my car projects but stated "damn, that looks f'n rad!"
@@VetOnVettes oh yeah bro. Jokes side it looks badass. I saw your post on corvette page on FB but that’s the once a year FB check in for me. The keyboard worriers got to me again lol.
Just wondering what happens when it rains while driving...
The engine bay gets a little wet. My C8 from the factory has "hood" vents & the motor gets soaked when it rains. No big deal really. Everything is water proof. (to a degree).
@@VetOnVettes thank you, excellent coverage on this channel 😎
Functionality not withstanding I think it takes away from the look of the car and especially yellow.
That car is 10X better than the c8
