one con is it looks like crap, don\'t hack up your truck.

another con is you have less protection, debres in the engine compartment is bad.

hit a nice rock and have a good size dent in the hood.

as far as more air, there are far better ways to cool the engine.

my buddies one s10 had no fender wells it does help cooling but his was more of a show truck so it ment more cleaning also plus remember the stock battery tray mounts to the fender well so that will need to be reinforced not worth the trouble for 1 day probably
