Personally I like the idea of making the gills functional and adding some kind of scoop to get into the air stream:
Trying to blend into the body behind the scoops as much as possible, 3 inches looks feasible without spoiling the styling.

If that worked it would be a downforce adder too.

side glass replacement were facing back instead of front, how well
would the venturi effect pull heat out of the engine bay?

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...
Regards,
George
