"to each his own"
"not something that I would ever do"
"not a fan of cosmetic"
"definitely not my cup of tea"

"air intake" was close to function..... actually, I'd thought of hot air exhaust from the cramped, tight, very hot engine compartment - holes in the firewall to the trunk and special hose to exhaust out the grills.
But, basically, it was just for fun and an "I wonder if I could" exercise. Some of you need to lighten up... use your imagination a little. Now I won't show you my "tye-dye" interior panels on the '73. It IS period correct.
