You don't think 19 row will be enough? I don't plan to track the car much, it will mainly be to keep the temps lower on my daily commute in the summer. I saw 250 degrees this past summer during some spirited driving and want to prevent that this year.

Just trying to keep the temps down when it starts getting warmer.

Not pretty, but effective.
Yea I figured as much, I will probably just get a piece of sheet metal and zip tie it in front of the cooler in the winter.
