the benefit would be that the inside of the car would get all wet when going through puddles or rain.

If the vents were cut open, it would lead into the car itself. So, it would be absolutely NECESSARY to make them completely functional if you were to cut them out. If not, water and all the elements would build up inside the panel and car itself causing potential rust problems, etc down the road. We wouldn't want that.

Now, if you wanted to make them fully functional, Al Oppenheiser said there would really be no benefit other than cosmetic. The rear brakes on this vehicle don't get hot enough to warrant true ventilating from those panels.

It would cost money to get it done, would look cool, but would not really give you benefit unless this was soley a RACE car.
