Further to Dink's question, do/can you remove the original black vent?

I plan on buying this one also, I purchased the BPP version and didn't think it would hold up with 3M tape.

If the Evil Twin Scoop came in Carbon Fiber it would look even better. I would use Stainless Steel screws.

If anything, it does look really good, and it should keep the engine area a bit cooler. If the air is plumbed into the airbox there might be a performance increase with forced air.

I am more interested in lowering the operating temp in the engine bay. I plan on spending some quality time under the car this weekend in an attempt to find a way to increase airflow to cool the area some more.

I also plan to wrap the exhaust system in fiberglass wrap when I install a new exhaust which will also help lower the temps and increase exhaust efficiency.
Does anyone make an underdrive pulley for this engine yet? I will contact a buddy of mine who makes them for a few other compacts and see if he is interested in working something up for me.

Also available in white

The MisterDotCom website has this item in the silver (silber) and black (schwarz) noted, but also lists it in white (weiss).

Screws runs into the body panel. I like scoop a lot and do not think that I will remove it any time soon, so I do not have a problem with holes.

I`m not sure, probably Kane (aka Evilution) can answer this question better, but it is looks that outside vent is part of the air intake duct and cannot be removed easily. But I might be wrong.
