Agreed...as are the "turbo style".
IMO, they just look odd. Why the vane in the middle and why is it angled slightly upward? Does not flow at all.

That's a nay for me.

The Basket Weave is just 1 page of the KamaSutra, why limit yourself!

Underwater definitely makes everything past page 5 easier for us geezers that are not as flexible as those that are already past page 50.

Jello also helps.

Did someone say "turbo" and "side intakes"? Could always go old school and 959 it:

For whatever it may be worth JD, I like the turbo style air intake/exhaust grills.

Got to be one of the ugliest cars ever, but I remember loving it back then. I had honestly forgotten all about it and this is the first time I've seen it since I was young.

Despite the aesthetic ineptitude, it still has some pretty amazing numbers
