Meh, they're like Boso-lite. They're simple and actually elegant I think. Looks like a skirt, but it's a style. At least it doesn't look like a booger.
And when you get the Bro40SX, MitsuBroshis, Brotrucks, Brostangs, Brobarus and Brotaries all together for a meet or something, it's bound to be an epic display of flatbill hats and DC apparel. And cool stories. About bro stuff.
A front mount intercooler will not get heat soaked from the engine's heat like a top mount would, for one. It receives a lot more air as well, since it's at the front of the car.
The scoop can be used to cool or feed air into the turbocharger.

Also, for performance applications, a front-mount intercooler is always going to work better than a top mount. If it's sized correctly and there is proper exit flow from it then it will work. Obviously if you're running low boost and using a large intercooler then it won't be efficient - the air pressure can drop inside the intercooler causing the air temperature to drop before it flows through, and then when it exits the pressure and temperature rise again. If the pressure drop cools the charge air to a level at or below where the intercooler should be cooling it to, obviously the intercooler isn't actually doing anything because the temperature just rises again when pressure rises at the exit.
In that respect any intercooler can be inefficient. Sizing it properly is very important. Exit flow too - if the pressure in the engine bay is high enough then not enough air will flow through the intercooler, or your radiator for that matter. Air has to be able to exit efficiently.

A 60mm turbo at 30 psi will make less heat then say a stock style turbo at 25psi.
As well tye only way a FMIC would hurt a cars performance if they ran a baby turbo on mans FMIC. Pressure drop.
If you only drop 1-2psi and get the cooling effect you are ahead of the game.
Heat kills, it promotes detonation.
I take cooler boost anyday over the extra few psi.
Now put this car on a track not drag strip and you will see exactly why a large efficient FMIC is important. It will maintain a certain charge air temp.
I agree for some reason I think thers just too many spokes that are too large and it just looks too over the top kind of like the modern day chrome spinners there is too much going on. IMO
