I do! However, I have a Nismo, so my duct work ends at the core support and grabs any fresh air contained in the shrouding around the radiator. You can see the two black circle inlets on either side of my core support in my pic. Your sport model has the fangs. Stillen sells the fang inserts so you can grab front bumper air.

I don't have the install pics on my phone, but when I get time I'll post them up. And no, I didn't just river a gutter outlet onto the backing plate. I keep seeing that DIY thread and I think it stinks.
