Just to be clear, my build is about function and utility. If there are going to be vents, they will be functional.

I’ve been looking at hood vents and fender vents (NOT scoops), the whole purpose is better cooling air flow through the engine compartment.

I’m looking for install videos on each of these projects:
1- a pair of working hood vents
2- a pair of working fender vents.

also, if anyone has done this project I’d love to see some pics of what you installed as well

Nobody has published meaningful data on venting for these trucks.

Another function to consider: aerodynamics. venting where it isn't intended will likely hurt your aero performance by introducing turbulence in the (hopefully laminar) flow along your hood or down the sides. From this perspective, non-venting features may be more functional.

If cooling is a legitimate concern, I'd focus on oil coolers and your liquid cooling system. After all, it's not an air cooled engine.

I would line to get these vents as well when someone makes them.
