Screen to allow air to exit...

Is this old guy tech?

yeap. friend of mine did the reverse of that on a FF01 back in high school. the motor in the FF01 is the front bumper (literally, it's in front of the front shock tower) he had a dodge ram body on it and cut the grills out and replace it with screen so the motor got all the air.

Do what you gotta do. If it works, it works.
Me, I'd be letting as much air as possible escape out the back... foregoing any resistance.

i remember that April fools joke. some people actually believed it was real and wanted one

That's thinking swissly!

@Daskraut I usually buy one of these and chop it up. On my lamborghini it looks realistic.

As an old guy I'm familiar with that technology.

I turned my SCT into a lightweight 1/8 buggy... Very low drag!

Before sct's were a thing we just cut holes in the windshields of everything. I still do. I dont think of myself as old though, rather seasoned instead

Screen is a great way to make it look good though. Love it. Carry on!

I've done the screen thing. Any way that you can get rid of heat is good when you live in a warm climate.

I would lose the windows except the body would be weak...

Back in the day the vehicles didnt weigh anywhere near what they do now. They weren't nearly as fast either. The added speed and weight coming down on them isn't great. Lexan used to be used primarily and was thicker then also.

You can still do it, but if you want it to be strong it needs to be only as much as needed to get the effect your going for. Smooth rounded edges help a lot in keeping them from cracking.

I feel like you've been around a while and already know this yourself
