Message I will also answer the questions that were asked in my last post on the prototypes. I will not be producing a one-piece air guide. In my original idea, I did look into making a one piece, but with thorough R&D there were several problems with it do to fitment. There are 3 pieces for a reason. In this area of the engine bay, there are many different factors to take into account. Every car's hood, hood latch, and left and right headlamps are all adjusted differently. Not to mention some cars that may even have had a front-end collision in the pasted. There are to many variables for fitment and adjustments to make a one piece to fit every car. As you can see in the pictures below, the side panels are machined to fit as flush as possible with absolutely no gaps between the panel and headlight for aesthetics. Though a one piece also looks nice, it makes no sense to mass produce it as fitment would not be exact for every car. The three separate pieces allows for all adjustments and fitting alignment.
