Just a note on the bonnet vent, it's no NACA duct i'm afraid, more like a basic vent with the external shape of a NACA duct. NACA's are designed to be as un-disruptive as possible to airflow moving over the car wheres that is just a massive vent. Be careful where you position it too, the mark you've made on the bonnet is one of the worst places to put it as it's an area of low air density, it would be better either nearer the bulkhead or at the front of the bonnet.
Is it a carbonmods vent? Finish looks shocking, can see pitting on that that you'll only remove by applying more epoxy resin, if you sand too deep you'll burn the carbon and the finish will be even worse. I'd be demanding money back off the seller as that's down to poor moulding and casting. Trust me, I used to make stuff like that
Still, great project, shiny things made me hard
