The right side is simply an ~6"x6" hole from the outside of the car to the engine compartment with an oversized computer case fan on the inside that kicks on to increase airflow at low speeds. IMO, those kind of goofy little scoops pose no risk of damage anything other than the visual appeal of the car itself. Lol. That being said, its your car and if you like them, go for it - just know they're perfectly safe (mechanically) and may even reduce underhood temps a bit due to some increased airflow at speed. Of course, depending on the aerodynamics down the side of the car, they may not do a damn thing despite looking like they should work like a charm. Aero mods are funny that way..

Let's do it, I want some of those door handles too, if the price isn't too much, but I want the scoops for sure. : -)

The price on the intakes works out to be around $243. Based on my past experience with that seller, I'm guessing that you might be able to snag them for around $200 or so shipped.

You'll likely receive a response from a women named Verena.

I just got an email back from him, he wants 249.00 for the side vents and 179.00 for the door handles, any thoughts on this? Thanks
