Vented stood hood

I'm thinking about cutting out some vents in the stock hood and was trying to get some ideas from some of the photoshop pros out there. I got the idea from this pic below. I plan on filling in the hole with a screen and painting it the same color as my hood. I just have to see how the bracing underneath the hood will be affected by this. I will post 2 pics that I came up with but maybe somebody out there can come up with a better design.

Ok well here's a shitty one but you get the idea. it's better to have them father back like I designed for two reasons, one their right on top of the engine and kinda on top of the turbos (when stoped after a hard run will let the engine cool faster) and it gets caught in the front part of the low pressure area. (the lower part of the windsheild has a turbulence area that if the vents are placed right above it'll suck the air from the engine bay out) so cooling wise this is your best bet. Also tri-angles are the strongest shape known... Hmm what shape is a rotar in again?



I just noticed that I didn't angle the vents right... the right side is sitting low. Oh well... still gives you an idea.
