Is a whole in the windshield (and rear window) sufficient cooling?
 
I'm not sure if I need to cut out the windows too.

Here's an idea,what if you cut out the air dam in the front bumper and put some mesh in there so it can intake air.Then you wouldn't have to have a hole in the window.I don't know if it would actually be enough cooling but it would look cool :)

Airdams
 
I think in cutting holes in the front of the body you would lose alot of the downforce on the front and rear of the car aswell as slowing it down quite a bit. The air coming through under the body is going to lift the front at high speed. I would cut front window, rear window maybe driverside aswell.

Check out my pics...i've never had problems with my front being lifted @ high speed yet with these holes...but then again my RS4 2/RS4 3 might just be too slow for Allamerican dan :D

all you need is a front hole about 1.5 inch diameter(enough to get at the fuel tank too)

the body post holes,the ignitor hole, and then one hole like the one in the front windshield for the air to get out from inside the body.

if you dont cut the back, the air will parachute the body causing drag and wont cool as much.
you should trim the rear bumper up about an inch and a half from the groud too to let that air out of the body too.

vutting out the windows is not only unnecassary, it will make it very weak and cause whacky air flow.
