Ah, well. Ford did it on some of their old Falcon stock cars and it seemed to work well for them - it looked like a car with four headlights, but two of the "lights" were just big holes ducted back to the carbs.

I guess there just isn't enough dynamic effect at the kind of speeds we mere mortals have to drive.
