My philosophy on hoods, prepare to comment!

Mine is open, and I can always see plenty of heat coming out of it when I'm sitting at lights. I also know that it pulls outside air down into the engine bay when I'm driving.

You should have mentioned that earlier.
Now we've actually discovered a function for them!
A lot of the ones I've seen, particularly the larger ones, are sealed on the back side. I'm thinking at least the larger SS inspired hoods are like this as well as the Stinger type of hoods... But I've seen a few purely cowl style hoods like that as well.

my 3" SS hood has a cutout in the actually SS scoop thing and the back part of it(as it kinda raises to a cowl) is open as well. while im driving i can look through the cowl down to the road through the scoop.lol.

Yup all that is needed to give an FI car that mean look and still keep visibility
PS most are also fiberglass and save about 60 lbs in weight as well so between extracting heat & weight, they also give you a slight performance gain
