Well, if comparisons are going to be made with the PL kit (as others have been doing since Page 1), it's noteworthy to point out that the G35 version of the PL kit doesn't require cutting the rad support.

It's routed down under the driver-side headlight like the cold air intakes on the market. I'll try to find a pic.

Yeah I don’t have a good picture of it but on my G35 coupe the intake filter sits right where my Injen intake filter sat. No cutting was required to fit it.

I guess that can also be replicated so you won't have to cut anything. Just match coating

The trimming of the radiator support for G35 vehicles isn't a fitment issue, the installer is instructed to do so via the instructions.

I don't view it as a bad thing either, because Momentum Performance's method places the filter directly behind the upper grill, which is excellent for direct air flow at speed. Ten minutes of trimming is well worth that benefit.

There are other ways to route the intake that don't require any trimming of the radiator support though. My intake sits right where the front bumper opening is and there's plenty of air flow to the intake from there too, it also sits closer to the turbocharger. I don't think it's a matter of how much time it actually takes to trim the support, most people would rather not have to trim the support, IMO.

no kidding. It has NO negative affect on the car, at all! Just people scared to get their nails dirty and do some real building.

Those comments don't help your or Momentum's rep at all, why not just drop it like the rest of the vendors?
