Bandwidth issues... our PiP pictures are getting killed because of all the viral-visitors we are having due to the "12 year old works on fiero" thread.

Sure, I am very proud of the bottom side. I spent twice as much time on the bottom than the top, and no one ever see's it. I'll add some shots this weekend.

Actually I was talking about a photo of the vent from the back to show the opening, not the bottom. EDIT: Bottom looks great, though. It does take a lot of time to finish one like that. ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"
Forgive my ignorance. Is this for looks only or does a Fiero cool better ? Any other benefits ? I assume this allows air which flows through the radiator to escape, helping cooling. Where does that air go with a stock hood set up ?

That air is just creating a bunch of lift at speed while it tries to escape the front compartment. (ie. headlight doors popping up at speed)
I believe that is the main benefit of these scoops. They allow that air to escape much easier, keeping the nose planted a little firmer. I'm sure the cooling factor is improved as well with the extra flow.
