Paint the cowl and windshield frame and possibly the grill to match the hood. Flat black that is.

IMHO hood needs to be white. Black the vents or do a contrast with the hump.

Its funny you ask. You can see heat rising out of the center vent and the right vent provides cooler air to the intake. however, the temps on my Aeroforce gauge show the engine is running at the same temperatures.
