wouldnt this only help(extremely little if at all) when the car is stopped due to the air pressure when you are moving being greater on the outside of the car than on the inside. therefore the air is pretty much still trapped in the engine bay

![]() hey, i am someone who has the attitude of "every little bit helps"...i am not sure how much it will help, but it makes sense that it will keep air temps cooler. how much cooler who knows. when stopped the air has somewhere to escape, when moving i think it would actually be sucked out. as far as i am concerned, for $3.57, it couldn't hurt.
