More looking for it from a little heat reduction...

I know some people saw dropping vents in their OEM hood but never saw a thread where it was done..

I know some people had real issues with fitment of some brands ... is there one someone recommends...

did you contact that hood company? it says that it requires hood pins but the pics make it look like it does not. I emailed them, never got a reply, i am not sure they are even in business.

Run a better intake to clean up all the underhood so there is better circulation, Sophisticated Redneck makes an intake that is better to run to do this.
