These things have been around for a long time. VW guys have been using them forever. Advanages being you can see the junk thru the glass and you can clean and reuse them. They are cheap at about $8.00.
Down side is they are glass and can break. IIRC they are not SCCA legal for this reason. If you use them do you install them in the engine compartment where it is less likely to be hit by a rock and break. But when they do break they allow gas to cover the engine. Or do you mount them up under the engine shelf out of the way so when they break they dump gas on the road? Has anyone ever heard of one breaking? I have one for my street car and don't know if I should install it or get a typical OEM plastic/steel body one from my FLAPS. What say you??? Attached image(s)
