Question Ram Air On Fenders

Ok This Is Weird Suggestion But I Am Considering It

U Know The Little Scoops U See On Some Hoods For Air Flow I Want To Put 1 On Each Side Of My Fenders right Above Turn Signals And Naturally The One On Pass Side Be Used To Ram Air To The Filter Any Help Please
Is This Good Idea Or Bad?
How Could I Do Something Like This?

Ummm...well, unless it set right on THE front edge of the fender it is not going to pull much air because that is a relatively low pressure area close to the car, so they would need to stick out a bit. Also there is a good chance someone is going to make fun of you. But if you are set on this idea, I would imagine you could either search salvage yards for a wrecked car with a ram air hood, buy a ram air hood and cut it apart, fabricate your own scoops with fiberglass and bondo, or change your mind and not do it. The idea is sound I would suppose, but the problem with ram air is that unless you get the scoops on the leading edge of the air flow they dont work. Almost everyone of the hoods I have ever seen suffer from the fact that the scoops either set too low out of the flow pattern of the air or they are too small to really scavenge much air. Remember all those god awful looking tall hood scoops on those Camaros in the seventies and early eighties that so many people make fun of now, well they probably work better than any of the low profile jobs you see on Mustangs and F bodies now. The other option is try one of those March style under the bumper ram air kits, but they dont flow any better than a stock air box with the silencer removed. Are you wanting this more for looks or for functionality?

I just looked at your car. It is very sharp looking. Sure you wanna do that?

I would guess my only concern would still be the fact that you are in a low pressure zone on the body of the car. Aerodynamically I dont think it will work out very well. It will look cool...but as far as functionality goes I just dont see it. A true cowl type of ram would be better, that area of your windshield is high pressure area. BTW, I couldnt see any new photos or ruf drafts of any ideas. Might try uploading them again.
