EVOMS carbon intercooler intake splitters install

Recently got a great deal on a set of EVOMS carbon intercooler intake splitters and am planning on installing them soon. Went to try and get install instructions from EVOMS website but for some reason I cannot access the site right now. Anybody have a copy of the instructions they could share? It seems obvious and simple but I definitely don't want to screw this up.

Thanks for any help.

Do a search, I think Dan from Vivid posted one a while ago..its very strait forward, tape the edges and pull the vents out.

Thanks for the tip. I did search through and had found the ones from Vivid which I had already grabbed off their site. The thing that seems to be missing from these is any guidance on positioning of the splitter within the intake. It just says "Place the new air splitters in the center of the duct so they follow the lines of the part". It seems like there is more than one solution to this equation. Maybe it is just the **** engineer in me but I was hoping there were actually measurements of where to drill the holes possibly in the instructions from EVOMS.

I had to just eyeball it and decide what looked best.

I love it..you're just like me....unfortunately the actual measurements don't exist...you coul go take measures from the 997TT, but the eyeball is probably fine...it is basically cosmetic...just make sure it does not negatively effect air flow!

Again thanks for the help. Guess I will have to let my artistic side come out and just do it by looks.

I have to say that this community is incredibly helpful and knowledgable. I have been poking around here since Jan and am impressed by the volume of info here. You have all helped me through issues with my car without even knowing it.

I never actually got the install instructions so it is quite possible I blew it. Anybody else have these installed? Pics? It is really hard to tell from the EVMOS site.
