Question head light scoops

are they worth it? i mean, i don;t really thing that are all that pleasing to the eye, but if the performance is up to par i would be willing to compromise a little.

anyone have experience with one?

Take out your passenger side FTP lense and it will get you more air flow without the $150

i don;t feel like bothering with re-selling it.


all i need to know is if it is worth actually installing or not

If it is cheap, of course you should get it. More air flow is always better. Hell, if dirt and water weren't a problem, we would all have tubes sticking out our front bumpers going straight to the engine for air flow
Only reason not to get that scoop is for the price. And that obviously isn't your problem.

Or I guess if you don't like the way it looks.

why do people say the headlight gets in the way during the daytime if you have the FTP lenses out? all you have to do is drive with the headlight up and that solves that problem! *DURRR*

plus then you have the added drag of having that wedge sticking out into the airflow.
