Rear Window vents now available for SLC

[Will Campbell]

Rear window vents are available for the SLC, and fit cars with street or race tails (the LeMans doesn't need these), fabricated in your choice of clear-coated carbon fiber, or fiberglass.

Check out the Superlite Cars FB page for pics and details.

Yes very nice indeed, I had a look on the web site could not see the cost on it any where ?

Quoted from Facebook.

Now, every SLC with either the race tail or street tail can use these vents to exhaust heat from the engine compartment, and add a dash of style to their car at the same time.
Installation is easy, but you do have to trim your existing window carefully to fit.
Call the factory to order: price is $895 for a set in clear-coated carbon fiber ready to install, or $595 for a set in fiberglass (these need to be prepped and painted)

Will, I was hoping you could share the source of the forward facing hood scoop that is on the rear clam of your car. If someone knows other options that would be great also. Thank you.

That scoop has a long history, but the short version is that they are available from Molleur, on this site. It's designed for the race tail on the SLC, and isn't, as far as I know, from another car or use. You can PM him for pricing and availability.

Will,

Have you noticed any drop in your temp gauge?

I'm just a couple days from finishing paint and reinstalling my rear window.

I really didn't have enough before-and-after time to have formed a scientific assessment.

But I can report waves of heat coming from them after a short drive. So there is clearly some convective effect!

In your car, they may help evacuate hot radiator air as well, if that is important to you.

The install of the vents themselves is easy, but trimming the window took me some time as I crept up on it slowly. The edges of the vents aren't straight, so you can't just put the window edge on a belt sander- I had to work them carefully by hand with a sanding block. The edges come up quickly, though, and look great.
