Boss Facia/Splitter & Brake Ducts Installed

So i installed both today. The lower facia was easy but the brake duct kit was a different story. I put the splitter on the Facia while off the car, much easier in my mind. Install was just like the other DIY's in the forum. The only thing I also did was remove the air dam, it made getting to the tabs on the facia easier. Also removed the front wheel well liners since I was putting in the brake kit.

Now for the brake ducts, the FRP instructiones sucked as did the AM ones. Here are few tips for those wanting to try this.

1. Pull out about 3 revolutiones of wire from the duct on the end that goes on the new backing plate. If you dont the duct won't fit over the plate, trust me.

2. On the drivers side the horns are in the way of the duct as it comes out of the fascia. To remedy this I loosened the nuts that hold the horns to the bracket, once loose just turn them 180 degree's. The wheel well liner will need to be trimmed in order to get it back in. There is also another cover that will also need to be trimmed.

3. On the passenger side the washer fliud bottle is right in the way of the duct as well. I had two optiones, the first is to add 6 washers each of the two bolts that hold it in. The washers give the duct an extra inch to squeeze through. It's still pinched a bit but much better than before. The second option, which I will do next weekend is to move the bottle over to a new mounting hole. The top bolt can be moved about 3 inches to the outside by using another hole there. With this option long 3 inch bolts that hold the side in must be used.
