yes, its an aero cover, its meant to vent air into your intake, it goes over our drivers side headlight.

I don't think so, its more for function than looks. And the intake is on the drivers side, so......

1) Your turbo is on our drivers side.

2) If your turbo is on our drivers side, why would you reroute your intake to our passenger side when you could use a slim battery or battery relocation.

3) Generally intercooler piping goes thru your stock airbox location, not a battery?

but for NA cars....intake maniforld is on the battery side, so some people made short rams that have the filter where the battery should be, and relocated the battery where the airbox used to be.

i've never seen a vented light cover for that side though. makes no sense since only .001% of people did that mod.

unless you wanna cool off your battery.

The light cover would have to be custom because those light covers are only made for the "driver's side" headlight. : ) Seeing as how it curves, it wouldn't fit on the passenger side anyways. =P

i would personally get the sleepy eyes...they look better and will give air to either side that you so desire to have your intake!

so if you order on of those you dont have to take anything off the car you just put it on top of the headlight cover you have then right?

it replaces the stock headlight cover. then you have to get it painted if you want it the same color.
