That is a factory hood and should be fine unless you live in a hot climate and sit in traffic a lot- if this is the case, the accepted practice is to put vents in or just prop the door open- is this your daily transportation? good luck

Like an air cooled motorcycle, the best bet is just to keep moving- keep the wind flowing over the engine- sitting and idling is to be avoided in these beasts
