Vented OEM hoods most definitely DO extract heat. There's a great youtube video with yarn tufts on the vented side, center, and non-vented side and even without any kind of louvers installed the holes blow out hot air (even the rear-most hole by the windshield). There's also some fairly cheap ready-fit aluminum louvers available for the holes.

I bought a second stock hood and plan to vent both sides for a track hood. I think I paid $80 for it.

do you have a link for the ready fit?

FYI most all carbon goods weight more than our aluminum one. Like sibon and other. I have weighed them and it's like a 8 pound difference. Since the aftermarket stuff is made with wet carbon then reinforced with FRP.

Still interested getting this done. Let me know if you know a shop capable of handling this. Right now looked like I will just be finding some type of machine shop.

Trackspec, dnr, and others. Ur in SJ they have many shops out there.

Close but not quite, my seibon was lighter than my OEM hood but not by a far stretch at all.

Well I should have clairified. I weighed the CF hood with my hood which is de-skinned and cut.
