Updated Hood
I previously had installed a different set of carbon fiber vents. They didn't turn out the way I wanted. After a long search, I came to the decision on the vents from 3D Design. They are made for the BMW 1 series. I contacted the manufacturer for specs to make sure they would fit before making the purchase.
They turned out great. The quality of the vents were excellent. They come with removable rain trays. The rain trays have vents on the side, so they still remain functional when on. The vents are molded to the hood. The hood was repainted and the vents were clear coated with the hood with UV resistant clear coat.
PurduePete: I saw your post on Meade916's thread. I was going to post this after the show in Sacramento. It's a one off hood I had my body shop do for me, not the TRD one.

Awesome! I've been looking at doing the same and have been trying to find someone else that has done this. I was looking at the vents posted here but I really like the vents you went with. They look a bit more agressive and the fitment looks perfect. Great job and thanks for posting.

Looks good. The vented hood is taking this car in a different direction than I'm going with mine, but it still looks good and is definitely unique.
By the way, is that photo editing, special lighting or some sort of magical wax/polish/sealant that you have on the car in that last pic? That paint looks wet it is so nice.
