the turtle was just an example. Sorry to offend Mr Fat Sacs
I don't imagine he's offended, he has a nice little collection of JDM add-ons because he likes them. We all do whatever mods that WE LIKE... it just so happens that many are the same due to the quality and/or performance characteristics of said parts.
Some require big budgets, some are simply practical upgrades... to each their own
Picked these up from a member here yesterday. Velgen vmb5 19x9/19x10.5 with Hankook evo2. Not too bad, but needs to drop about an inch. Stock suspension sits around 28" from floor to wheel arch!Lol!
I'll probably drop the bumper. Sounds like it's ultimately the easiest way
I have the Tekeda's, dropping the bumper is quick but not a necessity with the elbow tubes. Word of advise though, you may want to dremel out a small portion of the rad support so that the elbows arent pinched.
Youll see what I mean once your in there, but just take off the grille rad cover and you'll have no issues at all.

That's been my understanding about the Takeda: you don't have to drop the bumper, but it makes the intake installation easier if you do. And you don't have to widen the inlet, but it makes for a better fit.
Is there a forum write-up on dropping the Sedan front bumper? Feels like I've been asking that question for 5 years.
Something very appealing about the Takeda long-tube intake. I love the overall look of the thing, and how the MAF sensors are tucked. Although if/when I ever replace my R2C intake for this, pretty sure I'd get the front pieces powdercoated in black, and the mid-pipes powdercoated in black-chrome.
Finally sorted my FTSB brackets and got the proper (read: coordinating) Ti hardware for them.
The hardware harkens back to Rochester and his advice in an interesting way...he has the classic Ti fasteners that look fantastic. When I sprung for fasteners I was all: 'Classic's not for me. I'm getting a non-matching anodized version so they pop and people will notice the $$ I put in them'. Well the classic seem to pop even more because they're perfect IMO. It only took me $250 in small metals to realize it. Long story short: Rochester's seen it, done it and is often right about these things...
