What do they actually offer cuz im not the biggest fan of the look, but i am wondering if there is any gain at all using them..... how much cold air to the engine bay could they possibly offer.....and being the intake is set right behind there could it possibly create enough velocity and cool enough air to change anything....or is just another visual joke
LMAO those are a joke... you want cold air into the engine bay and into the filter? Just build a heat shild around your filter to keep engine bay separated from intake and remove that plasic thing from behind that headlight and remove the weather strip from the front of the hood. BAMO!! Cold, fresh air intake. Also you should remove the plastic box from under the inner fender too. And if you want more cold air, just put your headlights in sleepy eye mode. Opens the gap on the front of the hood and allows more outside airflow.

Seriously though, their is a core support between the headlight and the intake... how the hell would a scoop on the headlight cover possibly bring in cold air to the intake....?? I mean have you ever removed the headlight cover? Thier would be no way to create piping to funnel it to the intake either... WHY? What's the point of it?? looks i guess...
i have never removed my headlight cover and i came across them last night and didnt go out and pop my hood to see how it would sit ....thats why i just asked on here.
instead im trying to get xenon front lip and 180sx rear valances

installed greddy turbo timer and purchased the AEM tru boost controller (controller built into gauge) my wheels are to arrive monday and im wrapping them in federal 215 40's
