I had picture of my car beside a fellow Atlanta RX-7 owner who had it, but can't find it right now. Bascally it 2 aluminum braces that a a little bit larger than the opening. It pushes the lower lip area down some, opening it up a little more. Not sure how it bolts in since I didn't take a close look at it when I had the chance.

Ahh...I thought it was something like the Miata teeth...that doesn't look too hard to custom fabricate - almost like a few bolts, washers, and nuts would do the trick

Sure you can fabricate it, but it's cheap. May as well pay the person who did the R&D (also there is more to the mod than just the two metal pieces, there is cutting of the undercarriage which is in the instructions).

No offense to Nick (N-Tech), but you can achieve the same results by pinning/bolting down the lower portion of the rad inlet and removing the air guide (black plastic thingy). That is, you don't need the vertical supports.

The only decent picture I have is here:

I saw a 10 degree reduction in coolant temps at the track with this mod and a 99 spec front lip!
