Turbosocks Performance, collaborating with, BTJetman, is pleased to announce the availability of functional hood vents for the Veloster AND the Veloster Turbo!


You can now go from this:


To This:

In about an hour.

Each vent starts as a new OEM part. The center is removed and then finished by hand. The grill material is cut and adhered to the back side of the vent with an automotive grade adhesive. The completed assembly is then prepped and sprayed with an adhesion promoter, then primed with an etching primer, with 3 final coats of automotive flat black paint.

The vents can be snapped back into place with no worries of them coming off. But, we go a step further; a thin, outdoor grade, high quality double back tape is applied around the edge to help to keep the vent secure. Also included is enough channeled foam edging to finish the cut edge of the insulation blanket, 9 new clips to reinstall the blanket, and complete detailed instructions.

“Sounds good” you say, “but won’t water get in and do damage to something?” First, the engine compartment never has been waterproof. The components located inside have been designed to keep water out. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the relay box; notice how the lid fits over the bottom part, no water is getting in there unless it comes from road spray. “Ok, what about the ECU?” you ask. It is located away from the vent, and the connectors are designed to seal out any moisture (weather pac). “But what about the right side, that vent is directly above the engine.” You point out. This is true; the engine cover is designed to not only dress up the engine, but to protect the electrical components as well (Coils, HP Fuel Pump, etc.).

Still not convinced? Then maybe this mod is not for you. But if you are, then these vents are a great addition to your mod list and will help with evacuating the heat generated under the hood.

Price is $95 including shipping to the US. Prices outside the US will be higher due to increased shipping costs.

Then we wouldn't be getting new plastic, duh!

I would also like to know if we are getting the sheet as well. :p

I was going to include the sheet, but my wife said no!!!
Good pricing for all that's included, seems like it was well thought out! :applause:
What... You think I'm made of money? I'm not but I think this piece of plastic in my wallet is. I'll be ordering a pair. Can we ship back the cores for a discount?

Ordered mines on June 5th! Hope to get them this week.
You and me both brotha!
Turbosocks + BTJetman = AWESOME!!!

Now you guys get those factory grills out minus the brick!!!! I know you guys can do that :D
Still not convinced?
Many people and professional detailers pressure wash the engine bay with no issues, which is "worse" than having some water droplets fall into the engine bay.

Got your payment hellhunter, adding you to the list!

Unfortuately, I dont' think we are going to do a core exchange.. Reason being is that if someone knicks them, breaks off a tab, has scracthes, etc. when taking them off, it would be unfair to someone to have to pay the same for those on their car. Providing everyone with brand new ones ensures everyone is satisfied.
