Well, when he (Jim from rogue7motorsports) approached me about making them for the xD, Todd had my car and was in the process of turbo'ing it...It would have been functional if the turbo project was a success because the turbo sat where the battery currently sits...Well since we all know what happened with my turbo project, I now just rock it merely for looks...It does bring outside air into the engine compartment and help cool things down...I have the Spectre air intake so any extra cooler air will help...Thats what I keep telling myself anyways...

Well, that explains it. Still a very nice piece, orange carbon fiber is so cool. There is a racing company that makes colored carbon fiber hoods for the tC, and xB, but not the xD yet. I forget the name of this company right now, but the orange looks nearly perfect on the RS xB I saw with the Hot Lava paint. I emailed them and they said there is no plans for our cars anytime soon, what a shame.
