Huss, I know the Dallara's ducts stick out further to the sides, but are they also taller (top to bottom) than the stock ducts? I'm comparing them against the body recess lines; it might be the angle of the photo but they look to go to the outer edges of those body lines vs. the stock ducks being on the inner edges?
There is an example of a white X with color coded stock ducts above...I'll show it again:Also as noted, body colored side duct would be mildly custom but other than black Xs I have no idea how this would look.
Nice examples. In your post on the other (related) thread about nose design, I saw the top picture (above) and liked how the front spoiler was done. But failed to even notice the additional side scoop until you pointed it out here. Then I got to looking closer at the car and realized it has many unique custom features (see my re-post of the pic with some highlights below).
Regarding the "creased origami style added duct", I'd like to see how that could work positioned in place of the stock duct.
Regarding the second pic, I've noticed a couple Dallara kits where the stock duct was reused by "angling it outward" as you suggest (integrated into the widened fender). Looked good but slightly undersized for the large area created by the Dallara's big fenders.
I'm sure there are even more custom touches I haven't highlighted.
Stay tuned, it will be featured in an upcoming episode of the "custom X-1/9" series. Along with grills (plural), rear panel/tail treatments, removable top options, engine cover ideas, illumination, and more. All things exterior will be covered (eventually), however not the interior...that will be left for someone else. All this talk of molesting the original design, as if the devil himself owned a X-1/9, right? Or perhaps it should be called, "XXX-1/9"?The snorkel solution is also to be considered.
