Well in my opinon they look better, and also must aid in  cooling slightly...

Very few gains, just look nice, you can hook the one up to your CAI to help more airflow, and they can apparently be set up to help cooling of the discs/brakes but not much.

i fitted these other week.

i was reading a thread on here somewhere in which Teutonic Tamer was basically saying that fittting these would actually hamper the braking ducts but i guess is only a problem with hard track use?
