yeah, the main vents are right where i wanted them, right behind the intercooler/radiator, and the secondary vents are too, by the brake booster and abs

No one likes you Damian. Just stop makeing everyone jealous of your car(s)!!

J/K man, That looks really nice. I as well like the mistake

I used to like the scoot but for some reason the nose job that happens started to bother me too.

I look forward to the "bolt-in" install write up. I am soo sick of seeing/reading/hearing the phrase bolt-in i am going crazy!. Nothing EVER bolts in.
