Chrome Side Air Vents

Hey all,

I was looking at the chrome side air vents for the H2, and noticed there are no holes in it. Or at least the ones at the dealership didn't, they just had black lines painted under each lip to look like a "vent". Is that what they're supposed to look like? If so does the engine compartment get a little warmer w/ these installed? Any info is appreciated. Pics too... :)

Anyone w/ factory chrome side vents?

Thanks for the reply bro! Do you notice any engine heat being a problem?

No not at all......and as said....there only for the looks

Thanks man. Yea I figured they were aesthetic only, I only ask because the stock black plastic vents are actually engine compartment vents you can see into the engine compartment through. I'm wondering if living in So. Cal. and blocking those vents is such a good idea, even though it looks killer! I want em' but also wondering if anyone has noticed any more engine compartment heat w/ the chromes installed. Thanks again.

Well,maybe I forgot .....but you can see it in the pic.....mine got the long (cut's) holes in them.....take the stock plastic ones off and you see there is nothing behind there
hope you get it figuered out
