HEX Vents Temperature Data - Page 8 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I took a few quick pics to share with Camaro5. Vegas is starting to reach temps in the triple digits, so these vents are going to be put to the test. I could feel the the hot air escaping through the vents while idling in my driveway.

Maybe with a gasket to isolate the insulation completly from moisture,That would be really nice.

We are waiting Mr.Hines

The tooling for the piece is being made now. Unfortunately that's going to take another 4 weeks, then there's production time of about 3 weeks. We use a contract manufacturer in Ohio and unfortunately their larger customers take priority which delays us. I'll keep everyone posted.

Lol! We've had the idea all along but were not sure folks would need/want it; when the tooling for such parts costs $15k it's a tough decision.

Nevertheless, send me a PM and we'll get a discount setup for ya.

I know Steve has a few new ideas in the works. I have seen the proto-type drawings. Pretty cool and looking forward to the release.

I would like to see ones similiar to the ACS Stripe Vents, but at a much better price. Trying to find a good vent that will blend into the Transformers 3 stripe kit since it will be the start of both stripes.....

If you decide to come to the Texas State wide event in April 2013 and will be doing installs I will be the first to order a set of HEX Vents and send you payment.

I'm sure you would sell more than a few sets here at the event. I'll attempt several things myself but cutting body parts isn't one of them.
