I had a crazy hairbrained idea of cutting vents in the upper rear section of the front fender wells (all the way into the engine bay) as a method of releasing the positive pressure there to reduce front end lift. Obviously, I'm curious as to how much pressure is ACTUALLY generated there, and what kind of effect this would actually have. I'd put screens over the vents to stop leaves and such from getting in there, and would probably duct the air towards the back of the hood (if necessary) to improve flow. I imagine the increased flow at the rear of the engine bay would also help pull hot air backward and out of the front if the engine bay. Am I crazy? Or does this all seem somewhat legit?
