I stupidly put a reversed dent in my hood when my hood-hinge snapped and jutted through from below. I've been trying to figure out alternatives to getting an entirely new hood... Maybe a small vent like this would be the answer.

Use a nail set and hammer to bend the dent back the other way. Then fill it in with bondo. I don't know how big of a dent bondo is supposed to fix but I have filled in some really huge fist sized dents with it on my beater. So far the bondo has not chipped or cracked or fallen off but its been less than a year since I did the repair I guess its just a matter of time.

Mercedes E320 feder vent grafted in was the big VW thing in the 90's grafted into the fender for CAI systems.

I think the smaller, more civilized WRX scoop would be better

I mad a 6x8" hole just behind/above my exhaust side of the turbo, with an air cutoff, and then sanded the crap out of it.

It actually looks really good..... Pics in a couple days when I trailer the damn car home.

Trent is for some reason a major proponent of hood vents (functional, mind you). Ask him. Havent seen him around in forever.
