Steve, that looks pretty sharp.:thumbsup: I was expecting a flat sheet metal plate with some fancy cut outs or something.

You are absolutely right... I dont want to have to cut my car or tap anything .... my car is done and painted, so no fabrication to get stuff to fit

Thanks. We looked at the part and immediately thought to make something venturi-like.

Yeah...Frank and Jimmy are hardcore racers. Those guys will instinctively cut a car in half if they think it'll gain 'em a tenth. Good for one-off designs. Bad for production parts. It's my job to herd them in the right direction like CNC cattle. It's all part of the process. Watch it again and you'll see how their like: "...we'll just move it up some."

You'll be able to install the final design without even removing the hood.
