Well, here is what I did on my last car: 07' with A & A S/C, cam, headers... was looking to extract heat and cool under hood temps. Worked extremely well, I had a lot of compliments, took some guts to cut a hole in the stock hood. PM if you want details on how I did it with basic hand tools in my garage:
Good luck, lots of great after market hoods if you want to spend the coin:

Problem with hood vents is that you need to have a finished trim around the edges. Normally, this edge will be higher than the vent. I think it looks terrible. Replace the hood with one that has what you are looking for built in. Looks much nicer.

C7 vent on C6
I like the C7 vent...cheap as it is- and bought a stock hood.
I would have liked to place it near front of car BUT because of clearance issues (unless I mod the intake) I had to place it closer to windshield. Need to figure out how the edges will need to be done. It will take time to finish this sucker

Unless your engine is built and produces a lot of heat, the only thing I can see these for is for looks. Now if they are for looks think about the amount of water that can now get it when you wash the car or drive it in the rain, YES I said rain.

The biggest advantage to hood vents is aero. It reduces front end lift at high speed.
Had a vented hood for 6+ years now. Zero issues. Driven in rain, through car washes. Does little to nothing for cooling, does great for aero.
