But if you were installing the lip, why did you pull your grills?

Installing a lip is a painful procedure. I wanted to make sure the patient can breathe freely through her nose. But seriously, I also installed the Eventuri intake (you can see the two scoops).

Looks great, Alex! Are you going to wrap it or leave the CFRP pattern visible?

- that's real. Landscaping is a hobby, and occ I get lucky with the zoysia and it behaves for the camera.

It's already wrapped. Sterckenn has stronger CFRP pattern than the MPE side splitters. I will apply a couple of ceramic coating layers on top of Sterckenn's Xpel wrap. This will add some glance to the surface and mask the pattern a bit better.

Noob question but the air intakes are in front of the radiator so why doesn't that interfere with engine cooling? Or does it?

It’s a ram-air intake. The two laminar flow scoops direct the incoming air inside the two airbox inlets. The faster you drive the more positive pressure is created inside the airbox. As you can see from this picture, there is still enough room between the radiator and the scoop.

Any increase in power? Sound differences?

Yes, haha. Happy with the result. Definitely interesting look. Maybe AT will want to make something similar?

I think it was +8 hp or something like that, at least according to p2uned. Tbh, I just wanted that cool CF airbox cover to match my CF strut brace and the four high flow air filters inside.
