[DeTomaso] hood fitment between years?

Cullen,
 
When it comes time to get the hood vents (if not supplied with the hood) just be aware that not all offerings are equal as the vendors have their own individual interpretation of what hood vents are. As far as I know Mark at IPSCO is the only one selling vents to the exact dimensions of the later cars that included them as factory. His pieces are also fabricated from billet aluminum, whereas some vendors are offering plastic or pot metal.

Thanks Ken. I need a hood for my project, and I found a good deal on one
that is straight but is cut for the flush style square vents, similar to
this pic from PIM to offer their vents. Hopefully the pic comes through,
this is my first time to post a pic.  I have no problem with the vents
aesthetically. has anyone had problems with them doing anything weird? odd
air turbulence behind the radiator, or rain draining into bad places or
anything goofy? sorry...seems trivial but better to ask now.
