Great article, someone immediately pointed out in the comments below, at this point why not just integrate a simple paintmatched snorkel in the A pillar... cool intake and all, just screams rube goldberg. Or for gods sake have Mantec make a paint matchable one and sell it for $1xxx etc.

Picture from dude who commented about factory snorkel being an elegant solution.

Geez, yet another reason that a $300 fender bender now costs $3,000!

Don't hit any rocks while off-roading.

i wonder what the hood is made out of - Steel? ..... great - its designed to trap water - should be interesting in a typical after warranty expires land rover sort of way.

The LR3+4's were Aluminium - id be surprised if they went back to steel AND can claim "2 gram per side lighter". Has it really come down to only grams to shave off? Maybe they could get rid of the power flappy thing in the back and save a few KILOGRAMS!

wouldn't channeling air through hood (think dark colour) raise the inlet air temperature? Looks like these are charged motors, heat is the enemy.
