the bumper looks reminiscent of the Porsche bumper. I suppose it is the way the vents are shaped. Also i would have 86'd the air duct or maybe replaced it with a varis (if it fits or flow at all)

I don't think people get it on the duct. If you line the top of it up perfectly with the end of the hood, than the bottom would look out of place because it won't line up with the straight edges of the bottom. If you line the bottom up with the ground/lower part of the bumper than the top will look off, similar to the do-luck car. In this case it looks like you he went with the slanted flow of the bumper, which looks fine to me. The thing is, no matter how you line it up, it will look off on one side of the duct.

Thank yo for your observation. You are absolutely correct, they don't get it, that's my main reason not to say anything about it.

I guess what I don't understand is the point of the duct in the first place. The car has an intercooler, the duct isn't doing a thing for you. The shape of the duct is nice, but the fact that no matter what you do is off kilter makes it look very out of place IMHO and ruins an otherwise nice bumper (splitter also looks good with it). You could have easily found a duct with a similar shape that would sit parallel to the top and bottom edges of the bumper. There are quite a few places that offer them

pretty sure nobody is "hating" here, just stating opinions, which happens when you post pics on a public forum. i never understood why people decide that an opinion other than their own is hating.
