Default Glowing LED Throttle Body spacers?

Hey I was searching around on eBay for some throttle body spacers, just ran into this auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda...37750759QQrdZ1

What do you guys think of them? Looks really cool and the price is great too. You think it would look cool? Trying to gather some opinions on them.

Thanks guys.

I am not trying to get horsepower with the spacer, I know that. I just thought it was a nice show quality piece, that would look cool.

It should be good to go. Just like any other throttle body spacer. It comes with the gasket and all necessary hardware for it to work and look great at the same time.

Throttle body spacers will add 0hp, don't waste your money.. plus with something made of that material.. i'm sure it will expand & contract a lot more than metal will with the heat that goes on under the hood. eventually it will crack & be even bigger peice of junk than it already is! just my .02

I don't think the lexan will hold up very well. :run: The seller has 0 feedback. Besides I don't think it would look good. In my opinion just keeping the engine bay clean is best. Make sure everything is clean, tie up loose wires and paint, powdercoat, or polish componants like the valve cover. Those are the engine bays I like.

One more thing, I have caused lexan to bubble with a heat gun while trying to bend it. So I can see it bubbling and warping causing ugliness and vaccum leaks
