I saw a rexpeed version on ebay a while back. This is the only one I have seen that looks even close to it.

Well decided to get one. I added a little weather stripping around the intake, looks just like factory should have. I have a K&N drop in and you can actually hear the spool up.

Yup, thats his.

I have one myself and love it. Better than any shield on the market.

Lucky it's his car and not yours.

I'm sure your IX bumpers netted you the same gains.

To each their own.

Agreed, each their own. I had a 98 modded Eclipse GSX for about 9 years. It looked as good if not better the day I sold it than the day I bought it. It had a 146,000 miles on it the day I sold it was in showroom condition with just little over 300hp. If you don't believe me just click the link below. So again each their own.

Which one? The link to the CF intake or the one to the car? The one to CF intake is because the ad has ended. You might be able to search ebay for a new ad. The one to Eclipse works fine.
