Using scan data during the design phase, we were able to create a louver that follows OEM body lines while reducing the amount of structural material removed.  This ensures the hood's structural rigidity is maintained while the louvers look to be part of the hood's overall design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderhood temperature is an issue with these turbo'd hatchbacks and our hood louvers greatly decrease these temperatures by evacuating the hot air in the engine bay and pulling in cooler air from the radiator\/grill area.  This improves cooling stack efficiency by increasing the pressure delta between pre and post cooling stack.  Another benefit of the louvers is a reduction in front end lift by reducing the underhood pressure.  This is also known as downforce!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verus Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Raw Aluminum","offer_id":54026020225308,"sku":"A0140A-BARE","price":179.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":54026020258076,"sku":"A0140A-BLK","price":199.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/8266\/6268\/files\/Hood_20Louver_20Kit_20-_20Mk7_20Golf_20R-GTI.jpg?v=1775578882","url":"https:\/\/revlineperformance.com\/products\/hood-louver-kit-golf-r-gti","provider":"Revline Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
