Really?

Do they come with three diamond shaped quarter panel stick on "vents".

Put that hood vent $ into a retirement account please.

Why not make a red Subaru hood scoop for ram air and put in some vents in the quarter panels to suck the excess heat the scoops generate?

Pink would add HP while hello kitty would add more HP too.

My car is stock now (still under warranty). But reading on this forum has got me wanting to get 18" style 193 wheels, non-RFT performance tires and the EGR/DPF/SCR delete with Jarek tune. I will not cut on my hood as I like the stock look of the E90.

Now to find the $5 K USD that I put under the mattress for wheels, tires, dp and tune.
I see your in sc? I just sold my 193 wheels last month for cheap!

I was gonna suggest a Ford Cosworth style ones, at least they are unique and every other Honda has similar ones. Google those ones.

But if you are really concerned with underhood heat considering the hot weather, you can do these a la GT3 style. These create a negative pressure above them to extract air from the engine bay at speed. Functional, yes. Ricey, no. Ok, you can even highlight them in red or stick some red LEDs in there to glow red at night, just save that pink Hello Kitty sticker for your rear bumper.
Then you can make some flaps underneath to close for the rainy days and hook it up to your rain sensor to be automatic.

DAMN !!

Get lit - I have been looking on this forum for several months and have found a few sets of 193s, but the shipping costs always make the purchase prohibitive. Add salt to my wound, how much did you get for the set?

Damn, I went to get new tires at the dealership and when I was there they had a new set of 269 performace 19's on display. I had been looking for a set at the right price of the 269 wheels for awhile. After negotiating with the parts guy I ended up getting the brand new wheels and new tires for 1900 plus tax. I couldn't pass them up! Lol one of the mechanics then offered to buy my 193 wheels (just wheels). I sold them for 350 bucks! I honestly didn't want the hassle of trying to sell, shipping them, etc.

where is sc are you? I've only seen a couple of 335d's around!
