Wierd aero stuff

[Damn True]

In looking at a couple of panoz cars this weekend I got to thinking about how absolutely rubbish the aerodynamics are on some of our cars.

So, here are some of the things I have been rolling around in my head. Let me know if you have seen good examples of this sort of thing, or if I am pi$$ing up the proverbial rope.

Fender air extractors:
Something to get the hot, high pressure air out of the engine compartment rather than having it flow beneath the car. Because at this point it is turbulent and slow it will raise the pressure beneath the car and increase lift.
So I'm thinking something like perhaps getting a couple of M3 fenders and cutting the fender vent out and fitting into the f-body fender. Perhaps using the extractors off of a '69 Trans Am (though they look a bit wierd). Maybe some kind of subtle louver treatment on the aftmost part of the front fender.

Grille:
Wondering if the radiator needs that great big opening? Are the two openings on the lower valance ('68 Camaro) large enough to feed the radiator? Many modern cars certainly get by with smaller openings. I'm thinking if there was a sheet of aluminum behind the grille (painted flat black) to block off the opening?
Certainly sealing the opening between the core support and the front header panel would be helpful, as would sealing the area from beneath the front valance up to the core support creating a duct of sorts.

Alternate spoilers & wings:
The OE spoiler works, but can it be improved upon?
Vanzuuk's is certainly an option, but as a more aggresive treatment I have also been considering the VFN fiberglass Pro-mod air dam.



I'm kinda thinking it would be bad-ass to have that VFN front valance set up so it could be removed and installed using dzus fastners so you wouldn't have that thing on the car for the daily driver type stuff.

Or perhaps Tyler's front valance/air dam?



See what I mean about the grille opening? Do we need all of that?


And in the rear...stock works of course. But can it be improved upon?

Stevo's custom spoiler is one option.



Or, again something more agressive. What if one combined the stock spoiler with a wing of this type?



Probably a little to "rice" to drive on the street, but if you had a spare decklid with that attached that you could bolt on for a track-day.
