I saw a jeep hood with 1 1/2 inch diameter holes in the sides that had been flanged inwards and had metal mesh screen attached to the inside. Flanged holes would be rather easy to do and three or four on a side would vent a lot of heat. And they looked good.
Now if I can remember where the picture was.
I have not had over heating problems and if I did I think the first thing I would look into would be a bigger radiator.

I have my hood louvered. There's a lot of different styles you can use, Grand Prix louvers have always been popular and easy.

Nope.
The passenger doesn't need to see where we're going.
That pivot was seized when I bought the jeep so I just disconnected it and have never thought about making it work. It's not a daily driver.

Mine doesn't overheat...in fact a custom shroud keeps things very cool according to the temp gauge. However, the headers or something puts out a lot of heat and I get vapor lock sometimes. I even covered all the gas lines with DEI heatshield... Do these vents help with vaper lock? Thanks.
