Fender vents

Anyone ever consider making the plastic vent panel on the front fenders actually functional, to help remove heat from under the hood? You'd have to cut the plastic panel and the fender underneath, but I doubt that'd be too difficult... I haven't taken a close look at the car yet, but the idea popped into my head last night... Just thinking out loud, really...

A few people have done this. It's not a direct shot out of the engine bay, so some ducting would be beneficial. They do say they can feel heat coming out of the ducts though.
