Car and driver describes the fender vents for this hood scoop this way: "Accentuating the Type R’s wide front fenders are a pair of vents fore of the front doors. Although the Type R’s fender vents add to the model’s angry looks and actually allow air to flow in and out of their grilles, Honda acknowledges that they serve no functional purpose."

Hahaha. Useless bling. I like MPGomatic's point above: maybe the Acura version will have less kiddie-noise and better looks.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
