Left Vent, Right Vent???
Ok...
Not sure if this is a part of the electronics or what but I have these two levers that kinda look like the hood release sitting just below my steering wheel. One on the left and one on the right. The one on the left says "Left Vent" and the one on the right says...you guessed it.. "Right Vent".
Which vents are those opening?
All the internal vents have levers on them to open them. I inspected under the hood and the scoops that are on there are for looks instead of performance. Any idea what these might do.

they are called "ram air vents" for your heating/cooling system inside your car. when you open the vents it "rams" fresh air into the vehicle for additional cooling. nifty idea, just to clear this up....this is for cool air inside the cab NOT a ram air engine mod.

Nothing special about them at all, they open and close the vents under the dash.
