I think the only thing it's missing is either the stock wing, or a duckbill wing. Either will go nicely with your car, but without it, it seems to be missing something to me.

To the OP, can you post a pic of the rear diffuser you are putting on? I am very curious
custom- its all metal fabbed up, also in order to have a functional scoop of this size all the working parts and hinges on the headlight assembly had to be cut and re welded in certain areas

and last but not least look at the size of it- FUNCTIONAL...lol now i will be building a sealed airbox behind it with my intake routed into it along with keeping my intercooler piping in the same place..woot

i am still iffy about winging it, i had a stock t2 wing before and i didnt like it too much

i love the clean look as you can see hell even the mazda emblem on the stock s5 bumper i shaved off

as for the diffuser its the shineauto re amemiya carbon diffuser w/ generators the front lip is the odura one

i will wait till i get to cali because shipping for those two items will be insane , i might of well wait till i get to cali and personaly pick them up

Looks great man, I like it more now that its stock bodied instead of the kit you had. Can't wait to see it on coils, needs more low! Keep it wingless for sure. Wingless with that hot rear diffuser will look amazing IMO.

There's an 'Aerospace Analyst' in the forum who stated that THIS type is more efficient thanTHIS(Which looks similar to the OPs)

nice car.

i disgaree bro

as of right now my headlight cover isnt really doing what is intended to do because i havent built my box behind the headlight

i bet once my box is built and sealed IT WILL BE 100% better than my filter just sitting on my turbo getting all the heat from the engine

and bet i will notice a great drop on my air temps too thus allowing me to have good amounts of power always

whos this aerospace analyst your talking about i would like to meet him

I have yet to see your FC in person NENE7. the pictures are nice but i have a feeling that they don't do justice for the single turbo beast. Are you back in S.D. yet.
