Heh - I looked for some pics last night - and only have a top view - which doesn't show the fans. I'll snap some next time I have a chance as the car's in the trailer waiting to get an alignment.

Just be aware that in the event of an engine fire you now have created an effective chimney directly into the cockpit. You have nothing protecting your head from the flames....I don't want to put down the idea, it will probably work well, but I think you shuld be aware of the risks.

The car does have an on board FE-36 fire suppression system with nozzles in the interior and engine compartment - but so noted.
