I guess I'm no areodynamics... Ehh... Or spelling expert either, but I just don't see how having them face backwards would work better than forwards. Wouldn't pushing more air in create a cooler engine compartment than sucking it out? Wouldn't that also change the air pressure under your hood if you were haulin *** ?
Teach me oh wise one.

sick! eek! im gonna have to order one now.....where did the owner find the front bumper splitter for the car?
Thats a good question...I got the same body kit...I want that splitter!!! Any Idea where we can get it? sick! eek! im gonna have to order one now.....where did the owner find the front bumper splitter for the car?
okay here we go....the vents create a low pressure system on the hood whih in turn sucks hot air out of your engine!! and in hte end cooling it...the faster you go the faster it sucks air out...atleast thats the theory...same priniple as ...trying to walk away from a fart...it just doesnt work....when you move you seperate the air and the methane gas fills in back of you rather then fresh delightful air!! *LOL* sorry for hte poor analogy.

the splitter was custom made for Sonic. He's had it a LONG time. It originally cost him over $300.
(The units from www.teamprotoype.com weren't around at the time.) For the $$$, I think the team prototype units are hard to beat.
