I was considering trying something like that but with the rules on how many holes can be cut in the body and how large they can be, it would just become just a practice body that isnt legal to race with. That's if you're trying to follow the ROAR rules for GT8. I've been thinking about how to create a duct that would scoop air from under the car and channel it over the rear diff. Marcus saw really good results with just installing a heat shield so couple that with some sort of air channeling and its just might be the ticket.
