Re: Functional Aero Kit

well, you can get some free wheel well venting by... making the front bumper/fender slightly wider across the front 1/2 than it is in the back 1/2 of the opening. This is how Nascar pulls out the air since they are not allowed to run vents. The larger front creates negative pressure across the wheel and pulls out the air preventing lift. I wouldn't have thought of this, and apparently its rarely talked about. It was some offhand comment on some site that was the first I'd heard of it. Its subtle but you can see it on the Nascar cup cars once you are looking for it.
