No other places to tuck it away or anything? My car is in the body shop otherwise I'd go look on mine.

Looks like KelvinBRZ went with making a bundle. I'm going to have to find some way to tuck it away as much as possible. Having wires everywhere drives me crazy.

Didn't think I'd care to have this until I saw your installation video. It looks so easy to install, and the results are amazing! I'll wait a while before I place my order, but this will definitely be next on my list of purchases!!

Yes. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the other connector is for cars outside of USDM? Probably something to do with how right hand drive cars are configured with the fuse box, or different wiring altogether..

I think the video says it goes top the other headlight. I've plugged both of mine in. Is yours able to work with only the passenger side plugged in?

Edit: just tested this, you need both connectors. @KelvinBRZ is running on half a set if he didn't plug the other side in.

Zip-tied mine along the front edge. I wanted to snake it underneath the hood latch mechanism and my Vortech airbox, but there wasn't enough clearance without removing the airbox so I said fuck it and went over it. There's maybe a foot of slack which I just coiled up towards the fusebox and tucked cleanly. Everything working as expected - definitely a nice little mod!

Huh, so only one side of the boomerang stays on if it's not plugged into the other side? In the video he said "we'll do this for either side". Hmm, I guess I wouldn't have known that since I drove at night. That's nice to know though, thanks for catching that!

Yeah, within that context, he should have said "we'll do this for both sides."

Thats an AWFUL problem to have in business.

Good jobs guys and thanks for R&D, great customer service, and excellent products. Cant wait to recieve shipment.

Kibbles · 02-21-2015, 03:46 PM

I ordered these the day they were announced. I figured I mise well because they were supposed to ship last Tuesday, but still haven't shipped. Anybody else still waiting for theirs?

MooseWRX · 02-21-2015, 06:02 PM

A lot of people ordered them that first day, some of them are still waiting for theirs to ship. I ordered mine within a few hours of release and mine just shipped yesterday.

Jmonty · 02-21-2015, 06:07 PM

Mine have not yet shipped?

Annahra · 02-21-2015, 09:14 PM

Need to have both sides plugged in. The guys at DD ran the wire underneath the airbox and used electrical tape to hold the excess in place so it's very clean. Can take a pic if anyone wants.
