GT-TT is infamous around these partsGT-TT is infamous around these parts
So what is the correct oem distance from the hood? Skandalis it's 5mm but I see other pics that is almost at the edge..
Also nobody has mentioned the downforce function and the radiator cooling feature which also requires some more parts to position the radiator correctly tom take advantage of the part (and apparently reduce drag).

Looks very cool. Is there anyway to prevent the small gap between the vent and the hood line?

So basically carefully cut the bumper and install the stock GT3 vent?

Is there a template for this?

prochipharma,

I'm not sure if I understood your question properly, but the installation video for the rennline unit shows brackets/clips, and no glue AFAIK. It does, however, leave what looks like a big gap between the smile and the hood.
