New Product! Polaris Slingshot Hood Vents by DDMWorks

Polaris Slingshot Hood Vents by DDMWorks adds function and styling to your Slingshot.

During high speed and wind tunnel testing on the Polaris Slingshot, a high pressure area in the wheel well was discovered that creates lift on the hood of the Slingshot at speed. The DDMWorks hood vents were designed expressly to help relieve this high pressure area, reducing lift on the hood, creating more front end stability at speed. The unique design of the vents has a similar pattern to those found in the rear view mirror supports and the cutouts in the fenders, making the hood vents look like they came from Polaris.

Our DDMWorks hood vents are CNC laser cut from rust proof, 6061 Aluminum and then finished is a ultra durable powdercoat finish in your choice of popular Polaris Slingshot colors. All stainless steel hardware needed for installation and full color instructions are included with the kit, ensuing a great looking setup for years to come.

$125 for the set of 2 vents in any of the popular powdercoat options we offer for the Slingshot

Quote from chavey2

What about water/debris coming up through the vents? Any info on that? Would the change in airflow around the tire/fender now that it's cut out change that?

I had the fender delete kit on the previous SS but never had an issue there.

(And yes, now looking to put that front splitter, vents, and fender delete on The Force. You know, since the CC is paid off....)

Although debris and water can come up through the openings, it is not nearly as bad as the fender delete for water and debris since the vent is almost right over the tire, most of the water and debris comes off much lower on the tire.

Even with airflow changes from splitters, block off panels, etc. the area where the vents are installed is a lower pressure area compared to the wheel well area. So the air from the wheel well area will flow up through the vent to try to balance the pressures.

As a helpful side note, the vent makes it much easier to pull into trailers as you can see the edge of the wheel pretty easily, wasn't designed for that, but was a nice benefit
