Just a suggestion, If they are factory stripes I would just cut right through them.

Ah very good. Yes they're factory stripes but when I get around to doing this I will be sure to tape up really good.

Now time to order the part and summon enough guts to do it lol

I have it with the OEM strut bar and no issue. The 2014 hood will work however the lines on the 2014 hood do not line up with 2010-2013 bumper cover. You could do it but there will be gaps where those lines meet. We took a car from a dealership and did a good swap and it worked as far as install but didn't match up. Just enough for the OCD in this SOB to kick in and say hell to the naw!

I did the hex vents with the Strut bar -- no issue -- as long as you tell them you have the bar (and you want the 'drip' pans)

Yes this works fine. I have the OEM strut bat and had no issues. Its interesting to see but once you cut the hole in the hood it surprises you just how low the engine and even strut bar are under there. Tons of supercharger room I suppose.

Glad everyone is enjoying their vent! I can't wait to do mine! I'm gunna have lethal racing do an apr splitter and z/28 spoiler with wickerbill and a mgw shift kit while it's in there! Should look and shift like a totally different car when I'm done! For those that have done the vent AND water tray is the tray easily removable? And can you actually see the vent working at stop lights?

For mine (hex vents) -- yes, the vents work to remove heat -- my drip pans are bolted on so you can remove them easily -- the 'one piece' not sure

Really thinking about doing this but nervous about cutting out so much of the bracing. Have any of you experienced excessive flex in the hood after?

Member BLACK10 has one on his car and it looks good. Hood and bumper lines don't match up but it still looks good.

Read the Thread! Mine is easily removable with 4 wing nuts. YES, I can waves of heat coming through when I'm at a light. If the temps are below 60, I can drive for hours and when I check, the intake manifold is still cool.
