I didnt ask about the ducts, I imagine he doesnt run the car when it rains too often. The car appeared to be done by a shop that has race experience and rig their own stuff to work on the car. They did fit pretty flush so I would imagine they are made for the car.

2) Any idea where the hood vents came from? They look like they're proper NACA shaped which would be awesome for some engine bay venting.

I'm pretty sure its the seibon hood with the built in NACA ducts. It was all painted CF except for the vents. Really making me consider that hood, but it makes me wonder if thats really enough venting.

3) Does he have his harnesses mounted looped over the stock interior "strut bar"? It looks like it in the pics, but I thought that thing was too weak for mounting a harness to.

He had them mounted on the stock bar. I didnt know it was too weak, I thought the big issue was that the stock seats are too high and your spine would get compressed in an accident. I would imagine that even though the bar is designed for longitudinal flex, its enough to hold a person snug even in high g's.
I asked the guy about ice mode and said he has never experienced it. I asked him about oil temps and he said no problems at all after oil cooler install. It looked like 25 row and a small trans cooler next to it since the car was Automatic. It was either that or it was a steering cooler...
