* Interesting thing about this louver. While driving, or sitting still with the cooling fans on,  it expels a LOT of hot air that would otherwise remain under the hood.  Plus it looks kinda cool.   Highly recommend it.

** I decided to use Aftermarket non resister plugs & wires because the stock Bosch & "clones" kept disintegrating,
I'll post the part # soon.
