David, a lot of people worry about that since they vent over the fuel injector rail. However the most efficient place to vent is in the front of the hood right behind the radiator. If you vent there there is nothing you would have to worry about

X 2 with 4.3LXJ ...

To actually vent the engine bay and gain some benefit of slightly increased airflow through the rad ... locate the vents at the front.

There are other, useful, mounting lcations - such as the rear corners of the hood or in the fenders ... but the XJs panel work makes those spots a bit tricky to work with.

If you're considering them "just for looks" as you stated ... Just do what chrysler did with the "Orvis" model, euro, XJ ... and stick on some vents - without holes in the hood ;);)
