hell yeah, when I'm sitting at the lights on a hot day I look down the hood from the drivers seat the hot air is bellowing out like a ****!!! I saw that and thought ' geeez, imagine what its like under there without vents??'

Nice spekdah, but I'm disappointed there isn't any No.8 wire involved

If you're in Auckland some time, I'd like to check these out.

Jupiter, that is similar to what I'm thinking of doing to my car. Have you got any more photos?
