Vented hood / hood louvers

Hey RX-7 Community,

I've been looking around vented hoods for my fd for quite a while, but none of them quite suit my taste. Most of them look too aggressive for the car, but I'm concerned about heat.
I have a v mount kit from defined autoworks and a koyorad, so I thought a vented hood would be good for my application.
For my NB I've been looking for some hood louvers and found those:

Singular Motorsports Hood Louvers: NB Miata Singular Motorsports

Would a similar style, or even those suit the rx7? I love the looks of the stock hood.

Thanks in advance and happy new year tomorrow,

Felix


EDIT: They also have an RX-8 option:

Have you seen the FEED hood? It’s subtle and probably the least aggressive looking functional hood IMO

Yes, the FEED hood is basically the only option I somewhat like.
Many people are not sure wether it's needed or not tough so I thought going with hood louvers would be a cost efficient (imo) good looking alternative
