Default 996 Aero

All,
There are quite a few bodywork features on the 996 that are clearly there for air management at speed. Some are pretty obvious, and some are more subtle (the slight grooves that run the length of the roof right above the doors for instance). I've looked around but can not find any source that describes the aero features of these cars. Anyone know of a technical article or discussion?

Thanks

It's all just for looks unless you are doing 150mph.
