They are discontinued, but may have some left from their last batch. If you send them an email they should respond shortly.

Some complained that at high speed, the air from scoops was pushing the hood up.

They claimed better gas mileage... I didn't see any difference. The concept is there, I just don't know how functional and effective it is for the cost.

I think they are purely for aesthetics. I have noticed zero difference with them. I have the blue ones. Willing to sell for $500

I actually tested them when those of us in the group buy received the first batch. The scoops do in fact increase air flow, though the effect was only a few Lbs a min at wot

Agreed, it certainly doesn't add much as far as power but they do look real nice behind the grille.
