I'm a real side vent!

GTS Daddy · 08-16-2022, 11:40 PM

Anybody figure out either the efficacy or the application of real side vents for this platform? Not sure what's behind the side vent-caps, but even if its solid, some templated/strategic cutting could yield spectacular results.

Thoughts?

Perhaps someone could photoshop some design ideas.

Considering you'd have to route air TO the newly cut vent to have it exit, it seems like quite the undertaking. AFAIK even the GT cars don't have functional vents there. Curious to see what people respond with...

If am not mistaken right behind the passenger side vent is the windshield washer reservoir tank.
