Vents behind the front wheel wells

[tuxmonkey]

Are the vents behind the front wheel wells connected to the engine bay? For some reason I thought they connected to the wheel wells, but they do not. If they are connected somewhere I'm assuming the air that enters the scoop pulls the heat off the engine and out of these vents?

your assumption is right, the hood scoop creates a flow out the fender vents to reduce pressure and pull hot air.

It's quite obvious that heat soak would be a major problem without this engineering. The hood becomes extremely hot and stays hot long after being turned off.

very true, I wish there was some heat release while parked (or slow)

Have to wait 3 hours after you drive before washing the car. Or you'll leave water spots on the hot hood.

I'm just us the glad to know my CTR isn't the only one that stays hot for a long time.
