interesting idea. I think if you get it right it'll look really good, but I think it could just as easily look bad. Be careful, think about it and dont rush it, get it right

Looks like you have your hands full..............why are you removing the intake below the window? You know that's a must with the AC motor.

the car is aircooled and that vent directs air directly to the fan. Plus the size of it reduces any resistance to flow by having vents that are too small.

The extra vents on the boot lid were added to aid cooling

would it help if i use standoffs on the decklid to let the air back in???

Post by **Tony Z** » Tue Jan 08, 2008 8:32 pm

yea, standoffs will help a lot, especially if you have sealed the vents.
