I recently pulled one from a junked '80 to replace my beyond repair 82 single vented hood. And shortly thereafter I repainted the whole car, so it's there to stay. I like the idea of dual vents. It can't hurt the cooling factor for one. Without a vent at all, the heat from a hot engine has nowhere to go unless you're moving at a good clip! So far this summer driving around Los Angeles and environs, the engine temp has stayed well within the normal ranges, sitting in traffic or otherwise.
Yesterday was a good example. Two separate accidents had both major westbound exits out of the city backed up, and I happened to need one of those routes. So from Hollywood to Santa Monica (some 25 miles), instead of attempting the freeway, I opted for surface streets during evening rush hour in high 80's temps. Even with the A/C doing it's job while inching along, the car engine held to it's moderate hot temps. Another 10 degrees warmer and I can't say. I hope "we" never experience that any time soon, but with the really hot days ahead for us, we no doubt (love that Gwen) will. I can't say for certain, but I'm sure that 2nd hood vent has been helping to keep this buggy cool.
