I always wanted to use that "duct" tape properly. > Actually I considered doing what you suggested, so the fresh air outlets would actually be a/c but I didnt do it but opted for a much more rudimentary design !! Actually the steering wheel spoke blocks off the flow of air to the face from the fresh air vent and cools the hand instead. I'm a musician and I dont want my fingers getting cold. I prefer the air coming from the ceiling vents and the as the cold air has a straight shot into the vent, I think there are fewer losses. I believe others have done this too, probably more professionally than me. I know theres a page to post pictures to but the address escapes me but I will post if requested. Steve Cotsford
