Default To Duct or not to Duct .... That is the question!?!?!?

I have narrowed it down to a nismo v2 or nismo v3 front bumper on my 2006. I have a chargespeed rear bumper and v2 spoiler. Anyone have a duct installed? Issues when it is raining? ... I am sure there is little if any power increase but I think they look cool. Any feed back is appreciated!

It's a 100% visual mod. So it comes to down to if you want it, do it. It will not benefit you at all performance wise. Just make sure you align it correctly.

I wouldn't say it is 100% a visual mod. I am sure it helps with airflow.

I have considered it for my Z but not really of a fan of how it looks on the HR with the 2 ducts.

Yes. Makes it look aggressive, in my opinion at least.

Not on HR's tho, then it looks too cluttered

Even if the ducting helps airflow, it will not have ANY appreciable effect on HP. The ECM will compensate for any increased airflow unless it is reflashed in a wind tunnel.

V2 comes with a much better duct if you want to install it
