Stand offs

Hi, Do decklid stand offs work? I mean, know they work at making the deck lid stand off from the body but with all the turbulence and junk going on back there does a good amount of air actually get directed into the engine bay?

For me, I really don't want stand offs because I don't think they look very clean, but I'm little bit worried about the heat that will be in the engine compartment (ej20 turbo) for my intake to suck up. Also my intercooler is in there with 3, 300 cfm fans on it blowing down (IC is above the engine) and they need fresh air, right now they would just get what would come in through the decklid vents and below rear window vents. I figured those vents where for releasing air though. Should I actually be worried?

Also it would be nice to see some pics of GL bugs with stand offs. Do any exist? I figure function over form if I need them I'll get them. Or if theres another way like ducting from underneath?

Mike
