Ty,
I bought some vents from summit
Hopefully will get them cut in this weekend and
will post... If you read Brian Hobaug's build he
just put some in his hood as it moved all around
at 140mph.. I still have the steel hood and my
car has not gone 140 yet.. just been an autocrosser

Bob

Fender vent cut on
one side. Was a pain to cut
around the end of the fire wall
But putting it farther forward would
have looked funny. Will snap it in
Monday and cut the other side
It is a clear shot to the engine bay
so hopefully it with help cool things off

Is this going to be cosmetic or functional?

It has a lot more flow than if
you opened up the stock ones
I will take a shot of the vent and passageway
Tomorrow

Does anyone have a shot of how
to adjust one side of the front nose
piece up. Mine has always been low
on one side and I want to move it up
to match the hood. Car has always just
been an autocrosser ...trying to make it
look a little better for Optima

Flow for engine heat or downforce?

I only ask because I just installed fender vents on my car and it has no inner fender liner.
