I wanted to start the aeromods at the back, since that will have the most effect, but it makes sense to start at the front and work back. So first up, the radiator duct and front bumper.
Here is a link to the only other neon radiator duct I've seen.

Looks suboptimal, but there's good reason. That is about as good as you can do without removing the front crash bar. There is two inches of clearance between the outside edges of the radiator to the crash bar, and three inches in the middle. I'll let the next pictures talk for themselves.

Not much room behind the rad either, as shown here. I need to seal the fans to it. Definitely no room to duct anything.
Both the inlet and outlet are on the passenger side, which just so happens to be the side where the backside is the most restricted.
As you can see, there's not much room behind the crash bar. There's also not much radiator area exposed below the crash bar. Luckily, I don't think I need the entire cooling capacity of the radiator. The unit that's on the car is twice as thick as the stock one, this ones a 2" thick dual core. Total surface area is about 288"sq. I know the race car linked above never had cooling issues, even at high speed hilly tracks. There's also not much room to make the angles of the duct nice and smooth. So the question is, should I copy the duct work on the race car, with the bottom of the duct more in line with the stock grill, or should I copy part of the duct, but only extend it up 3/4 of the way up the radiator?
