Painted to body color is the way to go in my opinion. Looks great Tim. I might look into fitting a black wire mesh in the inlet to keep out junk. I have a feeling a lot more clap like track rubber, pebbles, and leaves will make their way into the inlets now.

Mesh is a great idea thanks Hound im getting some chips and narks fixed this week might ask my mate if he can fit some Mesh while he is at it. Although I have a small vacuum hose I use to remove leaves etc from there already.

I would be interested in before and after data with mesh. Depending on the size of the holes and boundary layer attaching to the mesh it could have quite an adverse affect on the air flow to the intakes.

I'm not thinking of anything too fine (dense). More like what I have in the front of the bumper. It's fairly coarse but would block out the larger stuff like leaves, tire rubber pebbles, etc... I'd think any restriction would be negligeable.

I have a front plate, well at least a sticker of the letters and numbers that make up my front plate

No laws states how the front plate is displayed just that it shall be displayed on the front half of the car. A sticker is perfectly legal.

I have a mate with a R35 GTR that has his on the top of his left front wing facing the clouds

No idea what delta T is hopefully you can enlighten me?

All I can tell u is my 996T is faster, makes more power, looks much better, and uses less fuel than it did before I fitted the ducts

For what they cost you cant go wrong

and Magic harden up and get the ducts

Your IAT should be much lower now, compared to your outside temperature, if these ducts work. Is there any before/after data that shows the efficiency of this mod?

I mean: I have no problem with believing in things, but only in churches
