Photoshop Request: Hood Vents.

Some of you might think, ugh hood vents! But there are some nice ones out there.
Anyone care to photoshop these hood vents onto the TL?
Or should I just go on paint and just black it out...


Cue the Porsche Cayenne:






This image is too big:

Perhaps the Suzuki Vitara? Used at where the hood rises, of course.
And definitely not chrome. Blah.


Mustang maybe?




If it's as functional as I hope it is and looks decent---I might think of attempting something similar.
I really like the Porsche Cayenne.

Subscribed. I made a comment in another thread last week, that some tasteful vents might look hot on the TL. Not feeling some of those in the pics...a little overboard for me, but I'm down with the general concept.

I like those. Those vents are on the subtle side. At first I thought you wanted some ridiculous hood scoop when I saw the title lol.

yea some vents on the part of the hood that's a little raised might look good. Maybe not as big as the Porsche ones. But a nice "slit" about 6" long might be good and functional

Most of it isn't for looks. There's purpose to all except the decals.

It flows really well with the Cayenne. Not entirely sure about the TL as the raised parts of the hood are further out.

Hahah hood scoop...
Hence my statement before posting pics =p

Agreed! Or some MB center hood vent [that sits in the rear of the hood].

Same! Maybe I'll just go and put black tape on the hood for better visuals?


I've seen that, thanks though!
It's a shame the TLs hood isn't as nice as the S2000 in terms of the underside.

Might look bad but the design of the TL's hood makes it so.

Definitely mad props to vill0169. I'd love to have his TL as a second car anytime.

Looks a little bit like angry brows when I took a second look real quick though. Hmn.
