just straight, because I didnt want to have to hack up the internals, since the current design allows for no cutting, and complete reversablility.
EDIT: actually, its not straight, its slightly towards the driver, because the molded protective foam rubber on the insde that re-directs airflow away from the gauge and protects from heat/cold/condensation. Last edited by RiXst3r; 08-03-2008 at 02:41 PM.. |

On a side note, can we purchase another vent so we would still have the vent control and do whatever hack was needed to the spare unit? |

the control to open and close the vent still works, but you can give that a try if you want, it would probably be possible... I am just not looking to have to buy OEM parts. |
