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 |

I added a scoop to my left rocker panel but it is there to duct air to an aux. oil cooler. I don't know how much air goes through it, I never tried to measure it. I installed a fairly low front valance and I noticed the oil temps running a little warmer than usual and this seemed to help.
