You can buy vents from places like carmate and then get a panel beater to blend it into your bonnet.

If you want vent on your bonnet, it must not face inward, which mean toward the windscreen. Also keep in mind, basically any aftermarket bonnet are illegal for road use due to the crumple zone.

absolutely free if you have a jigsaw & some free time on your hands .... also might help if you're completely wasted off your face ...

Speed holes cost extra!

I'd imagine if you left your Bracing intact, you'd be right... Dont buy a bonnet like mine if you're afraid of defects...
Best way to do it legally, is to buy some vents/scoops and put them into your original bonnet.Im guessing they're purely for looks?

Both legal (no cutting of bonnet support) and illegal (requiring cutting) options available.

If you want to do a really cheap vented bonnet take the bonnet off, put some spacers on the hinges and bolt it back on with some longer bolts. Looks tough and Japanese style, and works just as well as a vented bonnet for removing hot air. Will cost you like $5.
