Has anyone had issues with fitment using the rain guards with a CAI such as Grimmspeed, Injen, etc?
Just eyeballing it, I cant tell if I will run into a clearance issue or not. Interested in any feedback that can be provided. @VeloxEric |

- the smaller vents are flat. Rain guards fit flush. - the larger vents have a curve/bend to them. Also, my large vents have scratches on them. Is there a suggested matte finish black to patch it up that you suggest? |

The scratches are not normal and could have occurred in shipping, I check each one as we wrap them and am quite picky. Please send some pictures to sales@velox-motorsports.com so we can look into this. Sharpie could potentially work but I'd like to see it first, please. Thanks, Eric |

I'm not really worried about the scratches, I can get it "close enough" with a matte black color somewhere - or maybe even Sharpie as you mentioned. These are tiny scratches (less than a quarter inch each). Just a blemish; no need for return, shipment, etc. I was more concerned about the warped look, but if it'll compress down during install - than I'm not worried at all. |

@VerusEric can we get some pics/info on the S550 vents that was posted to your IG story? Will any testing be done?

They do require cutting the hood's structural support but all our hood louvers are fairly universal and he did a great job installing them. Using our CFD, I'd say the louvers are a bit further rearward than "optimal" but I'm confident they work well, especially with the wickers we include with every louver we offer. I had not planned to do any testing, it takes a lot of work to do what we did initially. I spent a full day sensoring the car, testing before and afters, video of tufts, etc. The FRS/BRZ louvers are in the best location as far as evacuation goes according to our CFD. The hood louvers themselves are similar to our standard FRS/BRZ offering in louver design and wicker design. I tuft tested them on an S550 and they worked the same as the FRS/BRZ video. Thanks, Eric |

If he could post some pics on IG outside of the story even that would be cool. Just sucks when they disappear so quick. |
