Cool idea also remember that these work best if you can get the other side cooler.. the cooler the hot side the cooler the cool side.. they really will only drop any temp by about 30 -40 degrees.. thats in a very insulated closed space like a minifridge.. there great for heat sinks etc.. as there very directed cooling but for air cooling i doubt it will be better..

Also for cooling the car rolling the windows down is more efficient than AC.. especially if there just cracked to provide enough cooling to keep you comfortable.. typically ill just roll my window down about a inch to provide some circulation..

Also you could probably improve rolled down windows aerodynamics with some simple areomods to your window frames to deflect any air back outside of the car again.. usually the drag is where the air hits the rear pillar of the car window..
