hood baffles, remove or not?
Is it safe to remove the hood baffles in my WS6 hood? If it is, how do I go about removing them, and where can I find a kit? It's not a DD so I'm not worried about rain.

i removed them on my old Ws6, honestly 5 min after i took them off, i thought it looked horrible, and put them back on. the black was kinda fading off of them, so i repainted them black and stuck them back in. it looked much better then a big hole there.

Well I Only Removed The Big Air Baffle In The Hood. Since There Is Two Of Them, I Left The Small One To Block Any Debri. It Helped Wit The Air Flow.
To Remove It, Get A Drill And Carefuly Drill The Rivets Out. Then The Baffle Should Slide Right Out!

I am going to be removing both baffles this weekend and using the BGRA gasket to seal the hood. I added a K&N filter, left my MAF screen in place, and will try to rig the BGRA rain blocker for extra security. Can't wait!
