NACA ducts are pretty good at bringing in air with minimal impact on the drag numbers. Their size, location, and orientation are usually finely tuned in wind tunnels, though.

My guess with these is they let a little air in, don't really hurt drag numbers, and otherwise serve a primary function of looking cool. :)

Yes, naca ducts work in a very passive way which is good. The firewall is not far from those ducts, though. Simota, get thee to a wind tunnel immediately. :icon17:

Well, obviously a wall of fire is going to be pretty hot, so these should help cool it off a bit.

:eek:

I may put these on my hood. When I think about it, the ducts can cool the G3's on a hot day, thereby reducing intake air temps and producing more power. Simota, you are a genius!

Looks nice, reminiscent of older model Zs

they look like mini urinals for cats? ;) jk.

looks good. but wat are you cooling under there? there's a battery chamber and brake, etc but it's already isolated from the engine... :confused:

Looks good. Best DIY without need of vented hood.

what all did you do to you're headlights?. they look badass

Looks beautiful! :tup::tup:
