Intake Ducts?
 
Hey everyone!! what do you guys think about intake ducts? do you think the look compliments my car? Also, for the people who have these installed, what's the danger from water ingestion?

they look terrible and ruin the lines of the car. if you track heavy and/or use your car for anything serious then sure i guess for performance reasons but for day to day (and weekend) use ... ugh.

of course if you like the look do whatever. water ingestion shouldnt be a problem as long as you're not doing silly things and/or driving through lakes :P

Thank you for your input

Yea it doesn't complement the bumper any where. Not sure why ppl like the mines.

If you are gonna cut your bumper, might as well get the stillen g3 and cut a slit on the area where you would hang your front license plate. Like what stillen did for their bumper.

More stealthy looking

I think they work quite well on EventHorizoN's 370Z. They blend well with all the other aero goodies.

if you want a more aggresive look maybe a hood would be a better option

robones 09-04-2012 04:01 PM

Perhaps people were turned off by my photoshop abilities! :bowrofl: The actual ducts are smaller than my photoshot version which may change people's perspective.

I got the girlfriend approval on the look... so if your girl likes a mod... then you know it must look good. :driving:

Yes, eventhorizon's z is spectacular.. love all the aero parts :)

Thanks simota! I wish you would have sold the GTR hood to me! LOL

yeah... a nice camera makes a world of difference...
You can make it work like Jason, but right now your front looks distractingly busy.

um, your tow hook is crooked! :icon08:

LOL what's so busy about it? Or should I say, what's on my bumper that makes it more "busy" than Event's?
