Yeah i saw something about rear hood spacing before and it showed a big decrease in underhood temps, i wrapped my manifold and downpipe in header wrap and it seemed to help, im also gonna get a blanket for the turbo soon you may want to look into those also.
Another thing that may or may not help is my 97 has the small grill in the bumper which im sure allows some air in, so a 97+ bumper could help a little???

I have my manifold and dp wrapped as well, and do plan on getting a blanket soon. But I think hood spacing, 97+ conversion and possibly some tasteful hood venting will be in store soon.

I've never done it on a lexus, but on my turbo AE86 it was required, it got SOOO hoy under there plastic started melting lol, and that was everything ceramic coated, wrapped and blanketed turbo.

this was another thing I had thought of, but I'm trying to keep it looking stock as much as possible..but I never use my high beams anyway.

yeah my te72 corolla wasnt boosted but dual 45s would also get ridiculously hot, might have been just hawaii heat though but after the venting i could go for a long drive, pop the hood, and touch anything without fear of getting burned, excluding the headers
