Message	as venting under the car, obviously the underside of the car is lower pressure than the top. Unfortunately with the full undertray I either give up downforce or suffer higher temps. I think there is a lot of misunderstanding here about the pros and cons of hood vents... I broke 2 CF driveshafts in a row, the bonded CF driveshafts are just not working in this application.
