What I'm really hoping is that it helps the performance of the blower. Between the massive open cavity over the blower and intercooler to dissipate heat, and the ram air ducts on either end, make be able to eek a few more ponies out of it.

You know me. I certainly not scared to dyno my car. I must have around 20 total runs on there at least at this point. I just don't think this will show up on the dyno. It would be hard to simulate true 60-80 mph air to see if it works. I can only assume it would work though. The engine lid being so close to the top of the motor really traps a lot of heat. I often open the lid, click the latch, and let it sit for a few hours if I've been running it hard. The intercooler is always cool enough to hold your hand on there, but that engine compartment does get hot. Not that it didn't get hot pre-blower, but I figure it can't hurt.

Jezz
I went to a couple body shops for estimates today. I almost **** myself when the estimate at the first place came out to $1300 for prep, paint, and install. I politely packed up my stuff and took it to the dealer for a second opinion. They were almost $1700. I then politely packed up my stuff and went back to the first place 
I guess I can't ***** too much as they're the best body shop in town and they came in a lot cheaper than the dealer.
I'm still shocked at how much it costs to get this stuff prepped. Buying the parts is apparently just the down payment
I have to admit that I am a little disapointed in the condition of the techart parts. You would think that with their insane pricing they would come ready to paint. Not the case. Lots of sanding and smoothing required. Oh well. Can't wait to get the wing installed. They're going to prep the parts this week and I drop the car off Saturday morning for the install. Hope to get it back on Monday or Tues.
