Default Seibon Vented Hoods

just like the title says...are the seibon vented hoods (TS and MG) really vented? or just fake vents with mesh in there for looks? i'd really like something to let a little heat get out...and i do like these hoods...

I am pretty sure the vents are functional. I know they are on the JS and VS, I would assume they are functional on the TS and MG as well.

The Seibon hoods are vented, and if you are saying they are probably as functional as the TS and MG hood just for allowing hot air out then I'll agree with you. In any other way is Seibon comparable to TS or MG
