Does Removing Passengers FTP lense help intake?
Anyone remove there Passenger Flash to pass lense to aid in airflow to cone filter intake? Does this help any, or is it a waste?

It's a waste of time, and it's not hard to prove why. Pop the lights up and remove the headlight trim. Then you can reach in to remove the lense, and have a look through the hole. Have a good look around the whole area (lights up and down), then look at the area where the air filter sits. It doesn't take long to figure out there's no way any measureable amount of fresh air is going to make its way through the hole in the nosecone all the way to the filter. There's simply to much metal in the way, not to mention a headlight!

IMO pulling them out just makes it look like some bits have fallen off your car...

I am going to have to go with NZConvertible on this one.
If you do In fact remove the FTP Lense(s) you are:
1. Buying In to the false hope of believing that you are getting a surging amount of cold air In the Engine Bay.
2. Are to cheap to replace your cracked or faded FTP Lense(s).
3. Trying to modify the appearance of an already beautiful looking car!

I am in the process of cutting a hole in my radiator support and moving my air filter closer to the FTP lens area.
I have already removed my headlight. I don't plan on driving at night, and if I do, I can put my headlight back in, in about 5 minutes.
After I get my air filter in the right spot, I will build an enclosure around it to keep the heat out.
This should lower my intake temps. and thus give me a little more HP.
Without cutting a hole and simply removing your FTP lens, does nothing.
