Default True Forged GT500 hood vents installed

So i got my hood vents in from Steve at True Forged today. I must say, these things are mighty sexy in person. I thought they looked good on all these cars on the site, but just wait till you put them on your car.

It was a very simple install. A little tricky with just one person but can easily be done in about 45min to an hour.

I decided to go with the mesh and the louvers on top and its got a really mean look to it

Check out the True Forged site for more pictures of vents and wheels

just laying them on the car











let me know what yall think, i am very happy with the way they turned out and the quality of the product.

Thanks again Steve!

looks really nice Zak.....I assume the vents are pretty strong and will hold up to high wind etc? just wasnt sure what the flex rate would be on them in adverse conditions...
great job!!

Those look really sharp. Can you choose how to run them, mesh only, vents only, both?

Yea cam, you can buy just the louvers or just the mesh. Or both like I did, that way you can run any combo you want
