this has been discussed here many times. the conclusion seems to be that it looks great but no cooling benefits. if you look at how the hood seals against the radiator support structure, you will not gain any additional air diversion from these mods.

I wouldn't even waste $40, if it's NOT going to do anything but look good.

For the most part the cooling plate is better at trapping heat better absorbs it, but thats about it, otherwise it is all looks.

i'm not sure it looks any better either, so it is a matter of personal taste.

Maybe YOU spend $30 on a haircut...not me, buddy....I don't go to a shi-shi fu fu Downtown Center City Phila Hair Salon, and get my hair cut by some fruit loop named Joseph or Timmy... LOL J/K

But seriously...$40 bucks ain't bad for a Radiator Cooling Plate, IF the thing works....but sounds like it may not. If you find out otherwise, let us know!
