    They cool the engine and add ~50 horsepower.

    Is this a joke?

    Fender Vents do not add horsepower.

    They also don't do **** to cool the engine.

    At least that one is the same color as the car.

    I love the unpainted ones that are bolted onto the trunks of some crappy old POS.

    Id totally ignore all these silly looking car accessories if people would just quit booming their way down my street at such volumes that I feel it in the back of my house.

    Worst thing to ever happen.....sub-$200 complete systems with amps and subs....encourages people to put them in every random POS they happen to have salvaged from the junkyard.

    Doors and trunks rattling so bad you just KNOW they are about to fall off.

    These are speed holes. They make the car go faster.

    ...Also people w/ the real deal on a new SUV. In a few years everyone will realize how cheesy it is and the fad will pass. There will be crappy resale value and they'll just look dated. I'm thinking low riders and neons, which look like relics from the past.

    And honestly most people who drive around in these cars look like they probably rent a ****ty apartment in a ****ty neighborhood. But hey, if you've got the expendable income, do as you please.
