An intake on each side only doubles your chances of having a cold water intake system replace your cold air intake.
I didnt say i was going to make a cold air system. I am just going to design a duct that goes up to the filter to provide cool air to the filter element. Also i have driven extremely low cars with cai's for years in south florida where it pours all the time. never had an issue with flooding a car, one because it doesnt flood where i live and too i know how to make my way through a puddle without issues...

thanks for showing me that i had em though! learn something new every day
i agree in terms of functionality its jsut as good if not better because the fog lights light up the road the way they are supposed to even though they are housed next to the headlights....however in terms of exterior styling and just lookin pimp they woulda been better in the cnventional sense under the headlights. Like where Lexus and almost every other car maker puts it.

Were the G35 coupes integrated foglights like ours or were they UNDER?

I had a bypass valve on my old AEM CAI...Never worried about it again. I told my buddy to get one, but he didn't take my advice and ended up hydrolocking during a storm. Surprisingly, his engine was fine after they flushed it.

UNV, can you gain access to the back of the faux brake covers without having to remove the front bumper?

So, any update with the break vents?

Also, I was wondering if the area was left closed for a reason as someone mentioned earlier in the thread. If you look at the Journey model's front end, it has two larger vents, one on each side. But, that being the case, both vents seemed to be partially blocked toward the outside where the sport model has those faux vents. Weird.
