>>Are Side Scoops/Front Scoops worth getting? No. Unless you want the odd look... >>Do side scoops add any cooling value? No. The fan pulls in a large volume of air through those louvers. You will reduce the area through which air is pulled if you put those scoops on. >>Do front scoops add significant air flow to inside vents? No. The cowl vents are in a high-pressure area already (observe what happens when water is splashed on the windshield at speed. In the lower 1/3 of the pane, the water beads are actually pushed DOWNward, toward the vents, by the wind.) -Mark Fuhriman '69 Fastback '84 Mercedes 300D ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Shameless link for search engines: http://listarchive.type3.org ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
