Message	I also thought about removing the seal, but upon doing some research I realized that the base of the windshield is a high pressure area. Therefore, if you remove the seal I'm thinking that air will be pushed into the engine bay, rather than sucked out. I'm not sure that it would hurt anything, but I do think it would probably cause drag. Just thinking here, I got zero data. I recently bought a racecar aerodynamics textbook, and it looks like the optimum place for venting is just behind the radiator at the front of the hood. Now if I can just get the cahoneys to get someone to cut up my hood......don't know what I'm gonna do........ RSR
