Mine is only for looks and the area behind the cover is not cut for added air to the air filter area. In MO, we have to run a front plate so I only put the modded cover on at car shows. I would think that if you do not have to run a front plate or don't care if you run a required front plate or not, it would allow more air into the engine compartment if you also open up the fascia behind the cover. Of course, it may also allow more dust in there and also water to enter if it is raining.
I orignally saw this mod done on ZFLASH's car and really liked it. I have gotten a lot of compliments at shows with the cover on the car.
I did this myself to feed the intercooler for the blower, being I live down South it gets really hot during summer months, it's now a direct shot to the intercooler.
