Do not drive it. Something bad will happen.

I'm not known for having great luck, but it's generally not that bad.
I sincerely hope you're not a psychic.

I have been planning on doing this to my car for decades. The thing is I never drive in the rain and it is nice to have the vent in the middle of my dash blow air in my face.
Have you considered welding gussets to reinforce and stiffen your strut tube? Makes a difference IMO. |
Gads! That's not scary at all.
I don't plan to drive in the rain. But I also like to go on road trips
and live in the Midwest. There's almost no avoiding it. So better to be prepared than to carry around a roll of duct tape to close that vent if rain moves in.
I really did consider it. It would be easy enough to go back and add if I find myself doing more track work than I currently expect to do. I have started stockpiling bushings for the future suspension overhaul. (more bushings, shocks, and TBs still need purchasing) If I'm going to make any [more] big changes, it'll be at that time.
