Who cares about rigidity? Do you plan on taking your S up Pikes peak?

This panel will do nothing better than the stock plastic pieces. If anything it is worse, because it will add weight to the front of the car
lol.
then WHATS the point of getting this if it's a flimsy piece of sheet metal?

It won't offer much aerodynamics if it's flapping around on your underbody.

The oem hood is really really light, even carbon fiber hoods are only about 1 or 2 pounds less. The MOST weight this will add is probably 5 vs the stock plastic pieces. If those 5 lbs really matter then just take a crap before you drive or wear less clothing.... And you guys are forgetting this isnt mainly about rigidy. Its about the slits that draw hot air out of the engine bay at speed. Also keeps it more stable at high speeds. I had this on my miata and it was sooo much easier to go above 100+ and not feel like im about to lose control

But then again it just comes down to how sexy it looks Sure you wont see it often but everytime you lift your car youll be

No need to be an ass, if you dont believe this will do anything for your car then dont get it and move on. There is obviously a good amount of people interested in this whether or not it actually does anything.

Not really trying to be an ass, He said that he was going to prove to me that this product is worth wile, and the only way I know that he could do that would to come up with wind tunnel test or something similar to prove that it works as good or better that the factory pieces.

I realize my skepticism sounds negative, but if he can convince me it is a functioning product and not just bling, then I would be one of the first in line to purchase it

I just don't see how something that is shaped like a stock piece but heavier would benefit my car in this particular scenario.
