That's it....for now. The intake is about a foot away and its tight space between headlight and inside fender. Besides the fender is a plenum, air really doesn't have anywhere else to go.

That's what we in California call "South-of-the-Border Styling" (all looks, no function)

Stick to surfing dude, and anytime you want to line up I'll show you my tailpipes. It obviously increases the direct fresh air flow to the intake, so yeah it is operational, thanks.

There's a hole in the bumper pad, which allows air to flow through the vent and into the fender. Since the intake pulls air from the fender area, this vent is functional.

Is there any concern with moisture on that electrical connection back there to the right?
