From a press release
Starting from the top- that scoop doesn’t feed the engine’s intake or radiator directly. But it is “real” in the sense that air passes through it and into the engine bay. Honda’s PR team explained to me that it provides “general engine bay cooling”

Starting from the top- that scoop doesn’t feed the engine’s intake or radiator directly, because well it's a fucking ricer mod. Honda’s PR team explained to me that it provides even more doo-dads that looked good when we were trippin' off shrooms designing the fucker on a Vegas bender celebrating the 27 year saga that was the NSX. We came home, sobered up, and then realized we may have fucked up. Oh well, I'm sure every 19 year old with Daddy's credit card will want one. YOLO
