Has anybody installed ORCIARI BONNET VENTS

Do ORCIARI BONNET VENTS actually provide an increase in air flow into the intake area?

Are you talking about the cowl scoops? If so, I have them. I don't know if they provide any more air to the intake, but (IMO) they look good. What a PITA to install though.

there was another company that made cowl scoops, but of course, as soon as I try to buy them the company goes Out of Business. the orciari are cool, but not AS functional as the ones I wanted. if anyone has the OTHER company's cowl scoops, I'm lookin to buy!

My wheels!? I have no clue...2 have say MINI in the center of them, 1 says G-Racing, and the other is missing the cover and is just a black foam piece...weirdest thing is I walked out one morning and say they all had holes drilled in them, right in the center! I think the neighborhood kids are going to get run over one of these days....accidents happen sometimes ya know!

Thanks by the way!
