Vents:

OK, I've taken a few courses in physics and geometry. Never did anything with Geology or metalergy or what ever you call it. I've taken a few looks back and forth from some of the pics I took of the concept at the car shows and the pics of the White Mule.

I agree with radz. On good bump on the rear there and that could send a crack through the holes in the vents. Putting them in afterwards well, I wouldn't even trust a body expert really. However, can you imagine if there were inserts with pegs...you know what nevermind that idea.

After closer examination, the rear fender is now to pieces. The lower side skirt is detached. I still agree with radz. Next I'd liek to point out the spy pics of the yellow Camaro. Did you see the vents there are very noticable even at the angle of the shot. I hear, and this is just speculation, and maybe one of the "in the knows" can verify this but all the tooling for the car is ready. So this might be too little to late. I've made up my mind, I think they need to make the vent open at least and not functional.

I guess my point is, I guess I tried to use what I learned in physics and geometry, if you can angle the cuts, and arch the wholes there will be less stress on the piece. I don't need function. I like detail. I can feel Oldtimer's concern.

I study buying habbits for a living. There is practicaly no difference in the Yukon and the Tahoe, except detail and price. See my point? And the owners see a difference right? Some people see dents some people see detail.

In conclusion, I think those vents need to be open at the very least. If they are not open for production, I will spend top dollar, grit my teeth and hope to God that I can find the body expert to do so. At the very least I will have them painted in. How 'bout them apples?

Hence, I side with Oldtimer in the sence that I want vents that serve a function as to detail. Then, I can understand radz's point in that it's just not as easy as taking a dremil tool to the thing and making some holes.

I'm no expert in cost or engineering, but come on. GM has got to have some major brains on that team that can find a cost effective way to put in some vents. Really, they are smarter than that.
