How are you going to vent the engine compartment, all from below? Howza bout grill material between the humps, a la C-GT

Is that piece going to lift off or be hinged (for engine access)?

Yes it is going to hinge. I am going to figure out how that will work after I rebuild the metal around the engine bay.

Are you keeping the retractable wing/brake widget, or is that gone now?

The spoiler is gone, it was fun while it lasted but it was heavy and created alot of drag. Now I am using a Ferrari F430 diffuser for downforce.

I have looked hard at the C-GT engine lid. I will probably be bringing in air from between the humps for the intercooler and venting the engine bay out the back of the car. I have to see the lid complete before I can tell what will look good.
