Mines dual carbon intake ducts...
Anybody seen these?
Z1 auto has them listed at $875... That is INSANELY expensive.
Im not even so sure if i like the way they look. I think a single duct looks awesome though.
I think this could win the vote for LEAST hp/tq increase per dollar. haha

I think a hood with vents will complete the look. No hoods for the '07 yet right?

Top secret and ASM have hoods for the HR. Those might make the look more "complete" like you said.

I've seen this at the Mine's website....one thing though is they have a larger Opening then the Aftermarket one's for the previous year's. $800 is pretty steep just for CF Vent's..but I do like the overall shape of these vent's and they don't look too bad at all.

it looks ridiculous. i think some sort of shroud that fits behind the bumper aiding airflow to the intakes would be a much better idea.

$875? That's definitely insane. Whoever is willing to pay for these either must be high on drugs or have really deep pockets.

For that much, it better include intakes.
Gives the front end that Domokun-looking face you've always wanted.

First and foremost, that license plate bracket shouldn't be there. Second, maybe if the Nissan burger were shaved, it might look a little cleaner. I kinda like it, but like everyone says, $800 is just insane!!

There will be copies... Might be ok if they are carbon and you have other cabon peices or painted the same color as the car.

It would look better if it was body color and the front bracket wasn't on .

Not that i know of. Im sure some vendor here will take the initative and create dual intake ducts for alot less than those Mine's ones.
