It goes in the two inlets just aft of the rear quarter windows, flows around the transaxle then out those two vents. Like the front end cooling exhaust vents on the hood, that's good use of aero.
I have to agree with both points. The rear end makes a statement that I am getting use to AND it is those functioning vents that tilt the scales for me.
Nothing worse than vents with no function. That's function following form.
