You know that's a pretty nifty mod my friend! Where did you buy the two parts?
Mniron's True Floorboard Air Vent
Spent some time gathering parts that would make vents for the lower cockpit area which was functional and also have the capability to close easily when temperatures dropped. To get a nice functional system I did have to come to terms of cutting holes in the side panels. Before I would do such a thing, it would have to be in a location that did not deter from the original looks of the SlingShot. There is such a location under the front fenders that is in direct air flow when you are moving. So here are a few pictures that I hope is self explanatory.
First is an interior view of the finished project:

A view from the side

I installed the vents on both the passenger and drivers side in the same location respectively. The air flow is good on both sides and have used the vents now for three weeks in temperatures into the high 90's, always comfortable, but as I mentioned you need to be moving to get air flow. There is substantial flow even at low speeds although in extreme heat I suspect that there would be heated air being scooped up from the pavement. It does remove the heat that builds from sitting in the sun in a very short time. So far I am very pleased on how the project turned out and functions as expected.
FYI, the scoops are actually 2" gauge pods!
