Default Hood vents and crop circles

hello All,

Here's another intake option / hood vent. Kind of reminds me of the early 928 prototypes. Not all that crazy about the crop circles though.

In addition, I really like the front spoiler addition for the early cars...there's probably a better way to secture it.




crop circle shark

Regards,

Reminds me of Buicks or Olds 442, except the holes were on the side?

I missed that valuable word, so clearly spelled out.

A small hesitant kudos to the misguided modifier to being upfront enough to post that title pic in the auction.

"The fender vents effectively release air lift effects at high speeds--similar to any formula cars. "

Was this really necessary? How fast do you think this one can go ?? Dang, possibly the right principle in the incorrect application. The original fenders 'had' some value..... before.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this nifty little wonder will clean your air as the car runs, leaving you with no detectable carbon monoxide emissions, and and a squeaky clean engine, inside and out ... and in the event of rain, it'll soak up all that harmful moisture from the air, leaving your car with only pure, dry oxygen, to make MORE POWER!"

O K , OK , so the holes in the fenders let the air out but the holes in the hood let the air IN ???? Last I looked Formula cars have no fenders .... Am I the only one who is confused ?
