When you do a 'clean' profile flow analysis the meshing wipes out the solid body basically (the whole car gets sliced!). All is left is the layer you want to analise (aka a sheet). Now, I took the center line of the car for forum entertainment purposes but you can actually slice this with nano size precision where ever you want in X,Y,Z directions. I couldn't upload them all so took the center line of the flow (generic). So that is why the fenders are a tad weak looking.

The black hole in the middle is then filled up manually with the boxster outline using Photoshop. That is for Markus and Al' to enjoy a representation of the car (well, he didn't LOL). Just more pleasant to look at than a "black hole".
