Under Nose Filler
Looking if anyone has done this.
Looking to get a sheet of metal to fill the under side of the nose fuller, leave an open rectangular box for the radiator/air dam to slide through and maybe an entrance duct to each side to swoop air in for the front brakes with functional duct work to allow air to maneuver to it? I saw corvettes have this prefabbed duct that directs the air to front location without having the tires rub it?

Re: Under Nose Filler
I love that picture... haven't seen it in forever!!!
Lost it a long time ago when my wife started screwing around with the computer one day...
I'd love to do something like this... but I would direct a couple of those air ducts into the intake somehow...

Re: Under Nose Filler
I think that I'd want an air dam right behind those scoops and Rad opening... Something that would force the air up into those zones...
I was thinking that the 2 side scoops would be further forward as well...
Are there any other examples?

Re: Under Nose Filler
exactly. I'd rather have the flaps. like i said in my original post i have the air dam, i just need the cut out so it slides in and let it do its job. just need the under side all covered.

Re: Under Nose Filler
It's a pain in the *** to work on a car with those under body panels. Any time you drop something instead of it just falling to the ground where you can bend over and grab it, it will stay on that tray and often in the hardest to reach place. The other thing is that it can be hard to see because there is no light from underneath the engine and the engine itself will throw a lot of shadows. Been there done that and it was a pain in *** to work on the vehicle but damn effective on the track.
My opinion:
Street car = not worth it unless you just like to say you have such and such and in that case just say it instead of putting in the work
Race car = when done effectively it is great but still not worth the hassle most of the time
