Vents which you probably cant even see from the drivers seat are for pedestrians to comment on as you drive by. An XR6T on 19’s is already a stunner, what’s a couple of vents going to achieve?
Yeap fair call, every option has its positives and negatives.

In regards to how vents would help the XR6T, in no particular order (aside from aesthetics, thats personal opinion):

1. Increase durability of components through lower in underhood temps
2. Increased performance through the increased efficiency of the cooling pack
3. Potential of lowering the fuel consumption (depending on aero) as the engine/cooling is more efficient during the same conditions (lower boost pressure = engine doing less work for the same gain)

Remember the vents provide functionality, not just appearance. Sorry if I was not clear about the functionality from the beginning.
