I can't do stickers lmao
Essentially, you are...a 3D, non functional air scoop is just the same as a decal...only more expensive, and damaging since you have to cut your hood...

And ugly plastic looking ? . Have some decent steel flush ones made if you're going to cut. Maybe should move this to the Redneck thread.

Uhh

1) Spark plugs need constant flushing with water.
2) Structure, pfft.
Will they suck mice out (venturi effect)? Or blow them out the bottom?

If so, sign me up!

Not a hood scoop but leads to great ideas, plus it's a FFR!

Patrick it looks like guys tend to mount these things more outward. Here's some visual examples I found of vents I think look good. (I say yeah vents look cool.)

For some reason I kinda like that better than the original placement question.

Well, other than 'it looks cool', what benefit does it bring to the performance? Just asking....

During/driving in a rain, it will allow the engine to be "power washed", and when rain stops, it will blow dry the engine compartment.....
A clean engine is a happy engine !!! A happy engine preforms at the most bestest it can !!!
