from what i hear it directs more air to the radiator thus making the engine cooler. although i highly doubt it would greatly effect the performance since toyota designed that car.

any links or websites?

Won't have any performance impact whatsoever. Anyone who tells you different is desperately trying to sell you something. Hell, I produce the ABS panels, and will gladly tell you that aside from looking pretty, their only function is to stop you from dorpping tools into the gap between the bumper cover and the radiator.

You can pick up one of the Greddy panels for ~$75 shipped on eBay. There are always listings going.

I like having one because it makes the engine bay look so much cleaner without that huge gap in the front.

Yeah, I got mine from ebay for 30$ shipped. Black plastic and does what it's supposed to I guess. I just wanted a cover for that gap.
