Re: TA nose hood vents into the sides

Major purpose is air flow though the cabin better in the summer.
NOt gonna Ttop or anything, nor AC, thoughts of a customs rear window for the notch like a truck that slies open is tempting. But I like this better. Twi windows down doesn't flow all ot of air as it has no where to go, the vents will point so air flow going by pulls air out, meaing more air flow in.

Genius

Re: TA nose hood vents into the sides

May want to correct spelling/grammer errors in your posts. I had to re-read it more than once to understand what you were saying. I do understand though and am not sure how that would look, have to see it to decide. See if someone can photoshop it.

How are you planning on keeping the water out?

Such minor details, you don't think man invented the wheel without planning ahead on how it could get him laid???

Id build a sort of small sealed box/tray behind it, to not only keep ya from seeing the inside of the uni body but will hold the water from leaking in while it drains out naturally, while moving outward air flow won't let it.

Should be minimal effort to keep the car dry.
