True, a lot of the time they are for looks unless you have a top mount intercooler.



If your after venting the heat from your engine, you need bonnet vents/scoop facing backward. ie let the heat out as opposed to shoving air in.

I'm going to havea TMIC, but eventually upgrade to FMIC, so i'm gonna leave my hood stokc. Maybe get a CF one eventually. I'm going full interior/sound system, so i have to counterbalance weight in other areas.
