Update on the NC louvers in the NB:
- They do intersect with the main "A" bracing that runs from the rear corners to the front latch area, but they don't interfere with any of the perimeter bracing.
- Their curve matches the curve of the NB hood bulge very nicely.
- Hood prop and hood latch remain funtional.

Yessir, Jager Racing commissioned us to do a custom set for their wasp carbon hood based off their pressure data gathered from that car. Those will be available to the STi market July-ish.

Just a small suggestion. On the template, put a thin black line delineating the extra you need to cut the openings if you want to use the edge trim. Guesstimating a 1/16" all the way around is a good way to make the lines uneven, IMHO.
Other than that small quibble, I am pretty impressed by the parts themselves.

If someone bought an NC hood louver kit and requested a template for an NB, I have no problem making that happen

my hood vents worked excellent in 95* air temperatures. motor got a little hot to 190 (normally it sits at 170). I never had to let it cool.
I also got conformation that the hood vents work. as my power steering overheated, and spit fluid all over my windshield and wing. lol.

As far as we know this has not been done yet. However, we expect the louvers would be too wide if placed correctly and interfere with the pop up headlights. The NB does not have this issue.

Looks great!
Yes, the black anodize doesn't have the nice smooth gloss look of a nice paint or powdercoat, but any paint will adhere right to it with no problems so it can be painted however you like, and it's much easier to paint with the black undercoat rather than bare aluminum.
