my IAT used to generally display outside temp, as long as the car was moving. i added foam tape across the front edge of the hood and around the headlights (at the time only done for the tiny aero benefit) and inadvertently created a mild warm air intake. temps generally running roughly 20-30deg above ambient temps at highway speeds after the engine is warmed up. the air intake does sit just behind one of the headlights
