really i am not sure why you guys are so interested in this there is no proof that it works. Do you guys just like the look of it? I mean do you really think a small piece of curved metal is going to do anything to help with fuel economy or responsiveness?

hmmmm now what can i make
Yup I agree! I always chuckle a bit when I see interest in the scoops.

We can make scoops with LEDs on them, and the more air that is being scooped the brighter the LEDs get. That way you will know how much airflow you have by the brightness of the LEDs. The LEDs of course will be available in different colors.

I proved previously that they do work , though their effectiveness is probably minimal and not worth the money lol

blue would look horrible. too much boy racer and too much color matching. you are doing contrast colors in the wrong way. you pretty much lose that grown up luxury expensive look.

i think people buy these more for looks then "gains", i woudl paint it black.
