The narrow slots or grille openings adjacent the licence plate area allow high velocity air to enter into a duct and then diffuse at a higher pressure into the radiator core pick up heat energy and exit through the hood vents.
The sunken vents on the fender tops behind the headlights are to release underhood pressure and heat.
The side vents by the front tires are to release pressure from the wheel housings.
The arcing indentations in the front fenders are removable wheel skirts.
