its called a naca duct. nacas are sweet, ive seen em used on the sides in the front for brake cooling. anyone know how much that mariah naca light cover is? must be outrageously expensive considering the fact that you could get a jy lightcover and a naca duct and put it on yourself for cheap. im thinkin about doin that for fun so next time i goto the jy im gonna pick up a few covers. after i actually get all my body work done i also wanna see how one would fit up front but ive got bigger things to do than that right now. speed first, stopping and looks come later

I think I paid 110.00 for mine, and there is a core charge that will be returned to you once you return your headlight cover back to Mariah. Here are some pictures of the NACA headlight cover, Inside View and Outside View.

If you want to see the complete setup with the Mariah NACA Hood go to http://www.rotaryrx7.com under my Rx-7

110 is damn expensive for a light cover, but it does look nice. i never saw the price listed on their page. just wondering, how much do you have invested in your baby.

Action you're such a riceboy!!!!

At least wait till you actually HAVE a seven before you inflict your ricey ways upon it lol.

You can coat your car in carbon fiber, and I'll still smoke your bitch ***
