Cutting up my 84 turbo!

[haygood at myway.com (Brian Haygood)]

How about venting the fenders behind the front axles?  That may not be what you are looking for stylistically.  You could cut a big hole in the front of the hood a la Ferrari 308.  I don't know if you can cut if far enough forward without modifying the header panel in front of the radiator and leaning the rad forward.  Maybe you could.
