This Verus Engineering Hood Louver Kit is a must - have for 2015 - 2021 Subaru WRX and STI owners. It's a sleek, black addition that offers real performance benefits. The louvers let air escape from under the hood, reducing engine bay heat and pressure. This not only boosts cooling stack efficiency but also extends the lifespan of under - hood components and increases front - end downforce. Each kit comes with optional wickers to make the louvers even more effective. Designed to fit the OEM hood, which is already lightweight, this louver kit retains the hood's structural integrity over time. It weighs less than most carbon vented hoods when paired with an OE hood. The kit features a black powder - coat finish for long - lasting durability, is made of 1.6mm thick 6061 Aluminum, and is CNC Laser cut for precision. The CFD - optimized design ensures top - notch performance. With stainless steel flush clinch studs and serrated nuts, the vents can be easily removed for cleaning. Included in the package are (1) right and (1) left hood louver, (1) right and (1) left wicker, (2) cut - out install templates, a small Verus vinyl sticker, and an install hardware kit.
Using your Verus Hood Louver Kit is easy. First, gather all the components from the package, which includes the right and left hood louvers, wickers, install templates, a vinyl sticker, and the install hardware kit. Place the cut - out install templates on your OEM hood to mark where you'll install the louvers. Then, carefully cut out the marked areas according to the template. Next, use the install hardware to attach the louvers to the hood. You can also add the wickers for better performance. When it comes to maintenance, the stainless - steel flush clinch studs and serrated nuts allow you to easily remove the vents for cleaning. Just use a mild soap and water solution to clean them. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the black powder - coat finish. Also, regularly check the hardware to make sure it's tight and there are no signs of wear. With proper use and care, your Verus Hood Louver Kit will serve you well for years to come.
