I got the first round of primer sprayed on the prototype fiberglass roof scoop. Once I'm happy with the shape and finish, I'll make a mold off of this part. The plan is to make the scoop removable so I can get to the rear trunk and remove the fiberglass hard top to get to the top of the engine. Also, now that most of the rear window will be blocked, I will probably just fill it in and mount a rear facing camera somewhere and an LCD display where the rear view mirror would go.

I know the shape of the scoop may not be the most attractive, but it will definetly serve it's purpose of getting a lot of cool air to the intercooler which will be in the rear trunk and will vent down over the transaxle and through the license plate are in the rear bumper.

That scoop just says, "I'm going so fast I don't care if I can't see anything behind me!"

das ist ein porsche; ve use zee vhale tails for the movink of zee air into zee intercoolink device.

still digging the rear flares - did you fab those or buy them somewhere - i'd love a set (run some big wide 911 turbo rims); much of a job cutting back the quarters or fabbing around the rear bumper?
