I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve sat underneath the front quarter panels eyeballing where to cut. I will only cut flat panels, nothing with a 90 degree angle on it.. I just don’t see the logic in cutting.. it would only be a couple inch of vent effectiveness to where the wheel well insert is. And that is with the long/skinny and/or shorter/wider vents. But to be honest, I was only looking at the rear area in the quarter panel.
If anyone has data to justify cutting, I am all ears.
Scott.
