Glad to see your install went super smoothly! I never needed to remove the wheel. Just turn the wheel all the way to the left or right to access the fender bolts.

There is some other interesting changes that might useful to a general audience that want to keep their radar/ACC. I've asked mr charles to test them.
Really interested to know more about this.. that's the only thing holding me back from purchasing this kit at present (deleting the radar/ACC)

Sorry, i should have clarified. There are some coding deletions that are useful to folks NOT installing the duct.

I have a possible revision to the codings but its been snowing a lot here. One of the codes only gets thrown after the car is in motion, so i can't check that one in the garage.

The trickiest part by far is getting the headlight out if you haven't done it before. (thanks to racebred for making me pull the front bumper 5 times this summer).

It certainly didn't help that my initial package, and possibly others in the first batch, got lost at customs. Dec 22 is when customs got my package and it still hasn't been found.

Yeah I goofed there. I thought OP was in the US and so I placed the order to my US freight forwarding address. I could've ordered instead to my Canadian one.

I should actually get around to emailing OP and telling him to switch it up actually

For the guys that also have the Speed Engineering air duct. Did you guys completely remove it or try to cut an opening in the new Divine one providing two air duct sources?

I actually designed it to go on top, not under. But if it works for you thats great too.

Yeah I saw that in your pictures, but I was worried that putting the bolt head directly on the plastic had a higher chance of cracking it, since it took a bit of torque to get off

Looks good! Can't exactly remember what I did with that bolt but I think I put it under that bracket as well.

"Lower intake air temps would most likely be the main benefit, but just for fun, I played around with some flow simulations. This is comparing just opening up the front fake vent versus having a duct direct the air into the intake at 100km/h. The duct seems to work well, reducing turbulence, increasing intake velocity, and improving pressure recovery. Might not mean too much though because of the air filter and other restrictions, but it is still cool to see the comparison."

Digging the concept design and look of this cold air intake. Forgive me if I missed it, but can you steer me to any validation testing you have done (or any member has done) that can confirm performance behavior versus stock (IAT, velocity, pressure, etc). I checked out your website and and this forum and unfortauntely was only able to find fit check, installation and finished look information. Keep up the good work. 🙏

considering the products are JUST NOW starting to get into the hands of the pre-orderers, data is not *currently* available, but as the temps raise and tracks open...people may look into that.
