I've wondered about those. I'm doubtful honda would put that on their cars as it has no function, or even looks like it has a function.

i thought it was WW who made that thing in the first place. i've never seen a jdm lude with that piece on. i dont think it's an oem part.

Honda has never made that part.

it does create a bit of downforce for the front, while also assisting in smoothing airflow around the windshield if you're doing 100mph in reverse.

From the ad:
You are looking at a JDM Air Bonnet/Air Scoop for 97-01 5th generation Honda Prelude. I bought this a month ago in Japan, and there's no way you can order it on Honda USA or anywhere!
Methinks there's a very good reason why you can't get that POS here...

We're all laughing and we'll probably see one on some stunna's car tomorrow...
