    What are the 2 long air vent strips called?

    Hello, I am reading through the 2005 Ford GT workshop manual to figure out the part # for the 2 long air vent strips above the engine but I can’t find them. What are they called? One of them just broke and I need to replace them. Thank you!

    Ford GT flyby

    Here's a very short video of a Ford GT flyby at 130-140 MPH. Forget the very low video quality, just listen to the sound. Right-click and save, it's a 3gp video grabbed with a Treo 650. You can open it in Quicktime Player among others. http://www.fordgtforum.com/wonkawonka/Ford_GT_flyby.3gp

    I have a friend who is very interested in buying a GT, but he'll be living in the UK at the end of the year. Can he buy one in the US and have it shipped? Assuming that's possible, with homologation and everything... The info I got was that 101 cars would go to Europe, with 28 to the UK. I...
