Crap - one thing I noticed that you may want to pass onto the fabricator:

The wheel well vent needs to direct the air to the outside of the car, just like OEM. The prototype design appears to exhaust straight into the wheel well.

There are two reasons for this. First, you don't want hot post-oil cooler air going to your brakes. Secondly, at high speeds, air that is flowing directly into the wheel well can cause lift. I have been in a car at 130mph where the lift was so bad that the front tires came off the ground.
