Fitment is spot on, I was a bit worried about how it would work out with the turbo kit but it fit almost as if it was tested before hand.

Looks awesome. Great job. Not a lot of people have it but it works well with your turbo kit fitment. Honestly, for 125-150, thats CHEAP relative to other carbon fiber stuff out there.

How do you think it would work on my car. I have a raven frs and I have no other carbon pieces in my engine bay.

Also, any way you could get a head on shot for me. maybe taken facing the car from the front standing over the engine bay

That is the only carbon piece in my engine bay. I try not to buy anything that doesn't have a function or purpose, I think it will accent any colors engine bay nicely. I'll try to get a picture of that angle when I wake up if weather permits.

Awaiting the update!

Did you see increased oil and coolant temps or are you doing this just to be safer?

Doing it for safety because I know something will melt this summer if I don't I mainly drive at night right now so outside temps are 40-60 most of the time.

Mine runs 210-217. Saw 217 after ripping on it in fifth gear. Just curious to what others are seeing.
