Wouldn't it be easier to prevent the high pressure via body mods than to cut a freaking hole in your car? In America we can do virtually whatever we want to our cars without consequence. We aren't under draconian FIA rule and I see no reason to go to these lengths for such a small increase. The only time it could possibly be worth it in my opinion is on an already aero'd out car like the Aero Civic.

This is the proverbial "high hanging fruit" that we not only need a ladder for, we need to rent a helicopter to grab it from the very top of the tree. Sure it's fruit and it's on the tree, but unless you've eaten every other apple in the orchard and are still hungry, why do it?
