996 gt2, 996 tt and 997 all vent into the fender. if you look behind your rad and in front of your fender liner there isn't actually that much of an opening for the air to flow into the fender given the orientation of the rad.

Yes...and remember in the thread I started on liner vents and how to exhaust into the wheel well and when I said okay how about slots/lovers facing outboard? Had a look at 981 the other day and guess what I saw?

That's what I was thinking, vent it out of the wheel well altogether. The tire wouldn't conflict. The shield at the back of the rad ducts it that way already and there will be no increase in dirt/water reaching the rad.

The leading edge of this topic would seem to be utilizing airflow THROUGH the body to IMPROVE performance- Ferrari F12(??), BMW etc. And then there's active aero- I'd love to alter airflow to the outer vents based on coolant temps...
