If you do it, get the OEM s13 fender mirrors.

I can't find a pic, but I know its in Nissans system.

Don't ask people a question about what they think about your 'idea' when you are just going to try to justify why you want to do it.

If you want t do it, do it. And I doubt that its going to make the engine bay THAT much cooler. There are a lot of designing and physics of air flow travel when it comes to designing functional vents in cars.

Slapping on vents just seems like a ricer thing. If you want to release engine heat, then put up some washers at the hinges of the hood to prop it up a bit. That would release more heat better than then putting in 280z vents. Or just take off your hood.
