I don't really want to hack into my car if this is not going to look good. And i really don't know exactly where its going, until I pull out my seats and panels to make sure its not in the way of anything. The verts have an extra brace, and its impossible to get to the outer fender, so it will require cutting out the inner brace, glassing the vent, then welding the brace in. I don't want to that, unless this vent looks good. If someone could photoshop this for me, it would be appreciated, and I'll write a how to with pics.

I think the vent would look better if it were ferther back, and with out the lil slits in between.. like more of a nice opening.. and if you could get it to open up to the brake/wheel well.. that would be nice for cooling.

IMO that last one i had was better cause it looks like a functional vent
and not venting into the top too high makes it look like its fake and not a really functional vent it should be as low as mine but then cut the angel of the skirt to match the scoop |
