If that worked it would be a downforce adder too.

     All,
     I like that idea and was thinking about using a set of original
     grills and slott
     ing out the underside of the fins.A  If you slotted the length of
     each fin it sho
     uld be more than enough CFM.A  I see where a lot of people talk
     about needing tho
     se big elephant ears to get into the airflow, but when you look at
     pictures of s
     tring taped to the grills it look laminar.A  Don't think you would
     get a ton of p
     ressure, but should be something far better than the vacuum and heat
     of the orig
     inal air filter position.A  That and it would look more OEM from the
     outside of t
     he car...I like sleepers...
