We are excited, it looks really good in person and our customers love it! Plus it's a much better deal then having to HACK up your front bumper like you would with a front mount.

Yep...the car is at the bodyshop getting that component painted as we speak! :-)

Unfortunately, the install on this part consist of two 3" long slices in the side scoop area of the front bumper, unlike having to cut out / off as much as you do when installing a front mount. It's a really clean install on the OEM bumper. More pictures coming soon.

the install on this part consist of two 3" long slices in the side scoop area of the front bumper then the bumper rolls back and the incert goes in. It attaches using OEM hardware & 3m 2side tape.

ooo cool. i like that.

Now, isn't that cut only like an inch and a half wide? is that big enough you think? I mean it's better than getting no air to the side mount, but what kind of numbers are you getting? Either way I think it's pretty innovative.

Seriously, it's a bad angle shot. It looks good in person. Also, Rob should've mentioned the scoops carbon fiber (or did he mention it?), that's why the coloration is off. With the color being off in that pic, it looks like an eyesore, but wait'll you see it painted, it's not bad.

Hey is the price drop on the TC kit also available on the XB kit? $4200 for a turn key kit is not bad deal. I'm pretty sure more folks will be interested.

If you really look at it after modifying parts to fit tuning and all the other bs 4200 really is not to bad for turn key system, 6k+ was just crazy carb or not. Remember you get harness, injectors, fic (w/map), lifetime warranty and support, pretty much all your left with is guages and tuning which no matter what you will have to do if you say upgrade your exhaust or want more boost.

Are ther any vids of the Xb at the track or on the road, they should get some up.
