hmmm I need to rethink giving all these light links and ideas. Reason I got mine in the first place is so that my car would look DIFFERENT than everyone else's Corvette. Ya know so that I'll be the only one in a thousand miles with a set?

If they become as popular as TTII's I might have to try something else. Hey how would this look on a C3?

Sure...that would be cool...was thinking of the BP logo's for the front.
Maybe a chevrolet logo...I was looking into making my own as i have the vinyl cutter for my custom paint business.

What are the two circlular shapes in the middle of that air dam? Are they vents or positions for lights?

They are vents, they go to the front brake calipers.

Ahh, very cool. Literally. Is it an open air system or do the air tubes pour out directly onto the calipers?

I think I like the idea, but since my breaks don't need cooling I will just rout the air feed tubes differently. I was thinking, maybe into the footwell, bringing in cold air to the foot oven? Or maybe I'll aim them up so they blow right up the legs in my shorts...

I was thinking of bringing them up either side of the radiator into the tri powers air cleaner....to make a functional RAM AIR.

Have you tested to see how much air flow you have at cruising speeds? Can you even easily measure stuff like that?

You could buy a small anemometer (wind-speed indicator) and stick it into the airstream/ducting and then calculate airflow from that. They're available for under 50 bucks (check ebay). Not sure where you could find one locally, but I've seen them used by GOLFERS, so maybe a big golf shop?

Cool, because at a good speed you could really get some air forced into the cabin or into an intake system. A home made ram air effect woul dbe VERY cool.
