Just put mine on today and it fit perfect with a lil persuasion. It was super easy I had no problem with the clips they popped right out with the flathead. At first I was a little reluctant but you just need to put a little pressure. Don't be scared to force it.

This modification might increase the air intake into engine bay but the change is likely to add more drag force to the air coming from the bonnet and decreasing the overall efficiency of the original intend. Still, that being said, the change does make the Evo X looking more amazing than ever.
Good for him
About aerodynamics and bull.... man, I have seen fast cars all my live 40 years old now, the fastest street cars are everything but aerodynamic, when you put 800 hp to the wheels, the aerodynamics are not to go fast, but to keep the exterior panels of your car on it. So keep focus in add power to your car if you want to go fast, and forget about drag forces.
aerodynamics are for F1s, GT1s and NASA aerospace projects, at those speeds you can actually take benefices of 20 or 40 pounds of air and push your car down or up
Unless you track your at 150m/h all the time (doesn't look like a track car with all that wax) keep all your mods to make you happy, canards, winds, whatever you want. At your street speed it won't make any difference.

You could just wrap the OEM one in a sheet of CF. I mean, its not like there is any significant amount of weight loss involved here. Its usually the look you'd be aiming for, am I correct? And what would fit better than the OEM piece? lol
