Default Forced Air Induction System

I was on my way back to LSU from New Orleans and an 18-wheeler had a blow out. There was one car in front of me that swerved to miss the tire and almost caused a wreck with the car in the other lane. Since there was another car in the other lane I had no choice but to hit the tire. The biggest part of the damage was, it ripped off the upper passenger headlight cover and the front license plate that says “Corvette”. I’ve been looking into a replacement panel and found a forced air induction system from Ecklers that would take the place of the front license plate.

I was wondering how the kit looked. Any pics would be greatly appreciated especially dark red Vettes. And also, did you get your money’s worth in terms of performance. Thanks a lot.

No its not worth the money, none of these forced/cold air systems are really worth it on all but the most modified of engines.

And I wouldnt have that particular one down here in Louisiana anyway.
