Very nice!

I'd love to see an OEM-looking bumper with the duct molded right in. That would look so kick ***. I can't believe no one is offering anything like that yet.

Placement looks a bit high to me, but as long as you're happy with it.

Is this the one you can get off of Ebay? How's the quality of the CF/finish look?

Quality is very good. Comes with the template as well. I have these in stock if anyone wants them.

I bought from Gin@CZP. The Finish is perfect. It is already clear coated so its ready to install. It came with rivets, but I used black screws from the hardware store instead. Placement is a little high though, but itll still channel to the filter decently. Im glad you guys like it.

Just be careful. I tell all my customers to use rivets. With screws, someone can have themselves a free duct very easily.

the template i got with mine didnt seem large enough to let the body of the duct slide through to the back plate. I printed a varis template from usnhm350z but it was small too.

I will be installing mine tommorrow, good thing i have a spare bumper to test it out on!

looks good tho, how flush does it sit on the bumper?

I dont know much about rivets, so Im the wrong guy to ask. The template I got was too small too, but all you need to do is start trimming until you have a good fitment. Its completely flush with the bumper.
