I voted for the bottom one. But it would help if you could make the pics bigger. Also do ou think you can make it all one color. That way you can see what it would really look like.

I think the bottom follows the sheet metal lines better. I'd attempt to keep the side vent-line exactly parallel / same angle as with the B-pillar of the window frame.

I like the bottom one better as it flows better with the larger side scoop.

Yeah i still like the bottom and I didn't notice the FD engine vent before so I think it flows better with the botoom. And the suggestion about the B-pillar sound like it would work.

I'd say the top one, because the bottom one screams Mustang.

I picked bottom one also ... looks better and would cool better ... now on that thought though i hope that you're planning on doing some cut outs on the rear bumper to not have a parachute effect on the car.

Is there a point to the NSX side vents?

I like it, even if you do the carbon fiber front fenders.

Its different.

And I voted the bottom because the lines do flow much better.
