I don't have that kind of capability..


Even if it does absolutely nothing, I like it's looks...besides, it can't hurt..

Thats cool! I guess there are only 2 ways to get cold air, this or cutting the fiberglass shroud?

Watch the temps, alegedly it can hurt. It breaks the air being froced under the car and into both the radiator and engine bay. Supposedly can cause engine bay temp problems. Seems counterintuitive but the car is a bottom breather.
