Cowl Vent Scoops.. Do they help?

I am installing a Cravenspeed CAI box soon, and was wondering if anyone has done this along with the cowl vent scoops that Moss Mini has available.. They seem pricey for a couple of pieces of plastic, but more importantly, are they effective? I don't care if they look cool, I want something functional.. Thanks!

I threw the damn things away after they scooped up loads of rain water and plumbed it through a hole in a grommet at the fire wall. Must have been a tiny leak before I installed these that the scoopes exploited to dump water on the foot well. Save your money, roll down a window.

Thanks much.. I was searching the archive and saw your posts there too.. By the way, I'm getting some Hella driving lights from Outmotoring.. Do you have a suggestion on where the best place to mount them would be? Am also going to do the laborious installation of the black aero grilles both upper and lower.. I guess the thing to do would be install the grilles first, but am still wondering where the best place for the lights will be.. Any thoughts?
