I am going to add a low spoiler to the front of my conversion 6 with GT flares. I understand that will raise the temperture of the engine. So, I was trying to think of a way to get additional air to the engine. Then it struck me, Porsche has already thought of that, Side Air Vents. In looking at it, the vents would seem to be in the right place for this to work if I can miss the hinge for the engine grill.
Since I do not have the flares on yet, I had to borrow a picture. Cool factor aside, Do you think this would work? Has anyone done it?  These flares  with these side vents |

QUOTE(ellisor3 @ Aug 18 2009, 04:05 PM)  Has anyone done it? It's been done. On a stock /6, the oil tank is in the way as well as the battery. Most side-vents on a 914 i have seen have been in the "hackjob" category. I'd like to see someone come up with a solution that works AND looks like it's supposed to be there ...
