I'm not saying it doesn't work, I'm saying the car cools itself pretty damn well as it is... I can idle after an autoX run on a 110 deg day and my temp needle moves up about half a needles width... not much threat of overheating.

It does look very nice tho... but it sucks to knock yourself out of STX for looks. If only there was a way to get it to increase the I/C cooling efficiency!
