I cannot see your vid but if your using it for purge vents I wont call rice, but if your putting none functional scoops and vents on your car it's straight up Uncle Ben's baby.

i couldnt get it to play on my computer at first. windows media player is my default player and it kept popping up and saying it couldnt play.you have to enable quicktime,(and realplayer if you want) through the control panel.or easy way... just right click to save. go to it and right click,open with, quicktime.and my old kit was a venom kit and the control module busted. its just a pile of parts without it.but if anybody wants a pile of parts.......

Those don't look that bad. Y'know, that might help those of us with short ram intakes also, just to purge some of the heat out from under the hood. Think I would paint them body color though.They kind of remind me of the Buick "portholes" that some models had/have on their front fenders.

Dang Saturn very cool way to make use of those things Quote, originally posted by NUBlackshirts »Those don't look that bad. Y'know, that might help those of us with short ram intakes also, just to purge some of the heat out from under the hood. Think I would paint them body color though. or how bout adding Computer heat extractor fans to the hood and "venting" or "pulling" the hot air out through thouse ports

they stick on with double sided tape. heat extraction is cool and all. but without some kind of baffling water would get on the filter.and that washes the oil off and makes a mess and clogs the mafs. i had my hood open in a light drizzle and that happened.maybey if i switched to aem dry flow.but the fuse box is also right under there.some type of sealed airbox would work better.
