Well the have ports that channel air to the radiator, so in theory it would help air get to your radiator, in turn keeping it cooler.

Just for looks really, but i'm sure there is some minuscule effect on keeping rad temps low.

For anyone looking for a carbon fiber cooling plate, i've got one that has a small broken piece. If interested i'll let it go for cheap. Just pm me if you have questions and/or want pictures.
