not if you are suggesting something like the Fabspeed intake ... anything that intakes engine compartment air is not an improvement IMO.

you might look at the IPD plenum and BMC air filters ...

its such a highly personal and subjective thing!

depends if you are looking for performance improvement or cosmetic ... I'd put
a new set of lighter wheels on the car before I'd add aero, especially
aftermarket since I dont believe many, if any, are properly designed to improve
aerodynamics, either via CAD modeling or in a wind tunnel.

you might search the forum, I seem to recall (perhaps wrongly) that someone recently had some fitment issues with the V Diffuser ...
