Don:

A couple of threads in the past talked about removing the headlight wiper/washer trim strip and drawing air in from under the headlights. The downside discussed was the posibility of sucking water into the engine during rain storms or splashes from the street.

I have wondered about re-routing the air intake back into the windshield cowling area to pick up cooler air at the base of the windshield, but don't understand enough about the flow dynamics and pressure variations in this area to know if they would help or hinder. Any ideas?
