Default Question about BGRA corners

Do the little corner pieces that go in the front of the WS6 nostrils just screw into those little holes for the regular nostril covers? So in other words, do they work without the whole BGRA kit in there, or do you need it?

I've already debaffled and sealed my hood and I would like very much to put those there instead of the regualr honeycomb shaped things. It seems like the air would flow a lot better through there.

The BGRA nostril trim pieces screw into the existing holes that the honeycomb screen uses.

I added the corner pieces when I debaffled my hood.

Debatable, the honeycomb pieces don't pose that much of a restriction.

Sure looks cool to see them opened up with the trim pieces though.

No they just clean up the area around the ram air. If you take your baffles out you will see why there are these little pieces. They don'y restrict airflow in any shape or form. I added them to mine and I love the way it looks now.
