Default front spoiler "grills"

what's the deal with the little spoiler grills, they serve no purpose that i can see other than to give the car some style, they are the only phony thing on it..what's with this? and what have you done with yours, air ducts, fog lights, brake cooling....?????

The side vent (passenger side) will help get air to the Cone Filter on the AEM style of intakes.

It also looks a hell of alot better then the solid black piece that just SCREAMS that the area is fake - cheesy.


and Saud2k: It cannot cool the brakes because the fender liner is in the way. You have to route seperate ducting for that, but it HAS been done.

you can make them functional by using a hot knife... .... you will have to do some routing but you can actually have it done.

Cut them out and use for brake cooling.

I cut mine over the weekend and covered them with grilles...

No ducting yet...

Angel - I like your setup. Looks good.

There is a thread in the racing & competition forum faq that covers brake ducting. Those that are interested should check it out.
