I posted the following in the thread "Blower Switch Question" , posted by 97fatboy; but not sure the thread title is appropriate for the contents, so here is a new thread.

All,
Now, how about some of that COOL air conditioned air for your HOT feet?
I did this back in 2003 and cold air to the feet is really a plus; I did it on both sides so my wife has COOL feet also. You will not be disappointed.
Any questions, send me an Email - address below.
ENJOY :2tu: :scool: :D :D

Air Condition Tubes for Your Feet: Do your feet get hot? Install a flexible tube from the air conditioning duct that delivers cold air to the outlet above your knees. I used a piece of flexible plastic vacuum cleaner tubing, which can usually be obtained from a thrift store. Cut a hole the diameter of the tubing (usually 1” to 1.5”) in the back side (side facing the foot pedals) of the air duct, to insert the tubing. Inside the duct, attach a 90 degree elbow to the tubing, such that the inlet to the elbow is facing “up stream” into the air flow. Route the other end of the tube to a position near the fire wall and turn downward toward your feet. Cost, less than $5.00. Cool Feet.

Great idea. I hate it when I get out of the car with sweaty feet. Although I would just as well redirect the entire flow to my feet instead of at my crotch.

Another note:

You can stuff a rag/small foam ball etc..in the crotch vents and have full force A/C coming out of the upper vents. I think this is more beneficial than the feet cooler mod, then again I usually wear flip flops when I'm driving. I noticed on my long road trip last weekend that my damned thighs were getting cold and the rest of my body was cooking.
