RaceSpec Hood Vent by Embrace Racing (Pictures) (Page 1/4)

I will be releasing another product shortly...

There are quite a few hood vent options for the Fiero, however, most of them require a lot of body work and repaint etc. This can get pretty costly and time consuming so I wanted to come up with a solution with the following requirements:

- Can be installed in an afternoon (fairly easily)
- Entire installation and product cost less than $200
- Looks aggressive but appropriate for the Fiero
- Functional
- Spare tire compartment remains sealed and unmodified.

I ended up making these custom aluminum vents that flow with the lines of the hood, and fit nicely in the front section to relieve pressure build up at high speeds.







They are made entirely from aluminum and then powdercoated black.

You will need to simply cut two holes in your hood, drill the mounting holes, and rivet the vent into place. In this case I used normal aluminum rivets, but you can also find black rivets to make them blend in. The vents actually somewhat match the vents at the back of the car and really do a nice job of letting the pressure out at high speeds.





I will try and get more pictures tomorrow. It gets dark around here pretty early now that it's winter.

They will be for sale shortly on my website. Feel free to post any questions you might have!

Looks cool.

I like it. Looks good.

I like function over form and your product scores well on both counts. Whereas it's a bolt-on, it would not take much to get it -or DIY- painted to match the car. Good luck with the product.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

If someone wanted to paint it body color I could provide it in bare aluminum and they could take it to their body shop of choice

What about rain. Water on the fan motors may be a problem?

Would you post pic(s) of the underside of the hood?
doublec4 NOV 16, 12:31 PM
I'll pull the car out in a little while and try and get some more pictures. It's snowing right now here unfortunately!

I don't think rain should be a concern since water is free splash through the front section anyways. Not to mention there have been plenty of guys around here who have been running similar hood vents for years. I would dump a bucket of water over it to test, but its below freezing here right now....

Not bad at all

How much further back can this be mounted before it interferes with the spare tire compartment?
I think I would want my vent a little further back when I get around to doing it
