The aerodyne ones look useless since it is not totally enclosed (2 piece) with a large gap inbetween. The ones made by white7 would probably work better if they were solid and did not have cut outs in them.

you need the cutouts for your hood latch and radiator coolant overflow, unless youve moved / eliminated them

I was referring to the cutouts for the lettering/design.
