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.

This is a pic of the underside of the scoop for the tmic in the previous pic. This has a water injection system.

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.
