It's a good idea but it takes away how clean the front end is.... I think a FMIC would look way better!! Could you pull the side to the center of the bumper back a bit or angle it to hide it a little better? Would this piece even assist the air into the intercooler better than the M2 piece by itself(I mean a noticable difference)?

thats kinda cool, i would have extened it all the way across that top vent in the bumper though. it would look better, + more air flow to your ic. your radiator still should get enough air.

Very nice. I'll be doing something similar as well (adjusting the stock IC ducting).

Sorry you had to do that work. Looks good though. The ASP kits actually come with a fiberglass extension scoop if you request them that forces quite a bit more air up into the duct. You have to trim the sides of the piece a little bit it's a pretty tight fit with the stock nose.

Clean the nose or have it repainted.

However nice job, with that opening in the nose your radiator should work quite well.

Another mod for you seriously cheap bastards out there with stock front ends who don't have access to extensive fabrication tooling, and/or are waiting for Kevin/Keith/Jason to finally put the ASP IC group buy together .
