I assume the top vents are for show, as I cannot imagine what would be vented from the wing tops.
 
The side vents seem to replicate the single standard FD vent, but again unless the inner arch plastic is modified, I\'m not sure what purpose they have.
 
BUT, I doo like the design and if I\'m to have a full respray I think I may change the standard front wings, for this type.

Chris, Adam\'s right, they\'re Border Type II. Mine are FRP, but you can (or could) get carbon fibre ones if you had reeeeaaaallllllly deep pockets! Like you said, the arch liner cuts down how efficient the venting is, but a surprising amount of heat finds it\'s way through the louvres on the top, dunno how or where from. Conduction, maybe :3Confused.

Gonna swell Adam\'s head even more by saying he\'s right again , they\'re similar to the ChargeSpeed ones, which may prove easier to find nowadays. The main difference was they didn\'t have the louvres and the side repeater was mounted in one of the side scallops rather than between them.

Right *zips up anorak* that\'s my JDM spam for the day....surprised Kieron didn\'t beat me to it :Giggle
