sweet got my takeda within 4 days of buying thru amazon ... they used dhl express!

now with my EDFC ( thanks 1six8) will a tein authorised installer use the oem upper mount kit or should i purchase the edfc upper mount kit - bastard costs US$170!

Have you had any experience with a tein specialist?

My latest mod

Car felt smoother for sure. Would be better if i remove the fog light cover, but i'm already scared of the rain from these 2 days

Dude you watch the youtube video on a similar install? She apparently covered the pod filter area - reducing the chance of water entering...

link?? I have only just tape up the holes from the underbody tray (but i can still see water coming in.) Will have to do similar blocking when the weather's fine again as i don't have a garage at home. (can't remove bumper out in the open )

thats awesome dude> step by step destruction of how to remove bumper?

the instruction's all provided by INJEN's installation manual. But basically,

1) remove 8 pin near the top of the grill,
2) remove top grill tray,
3) remove 16 or something pin under the front bumper (8 - 10 under the front bumper and another 8 behind the little rubber strip under the engine tray),
4) remove one screw each from the side at the wheel arches, pull firmly to detach the bumper (do it one side at a time) Make sure you have something soft laying under the bumper when you take it out from both side

Overall, its quite easy. Done it twice now and it only take me less than 10mins to remove the bumper. But putting it back, is the harder part. Best if you have someone else to hold the other side when putting back one side.

haha yeah, i could imagine you would continue to scrape with that Mugen Lip of yours.

My Mugen grill isn't actually full black, it's actually a carbon fibre colour. It's a replica made by bodykitskingdom.com.au.
I'm planning to buy the genuine some time soon though, a big fan of the silver border haha.

PM me when you get the new one. Might buy yours off you?

whats the difference between the takeda and Injen? price looks similar? what was price delivered?

im still hesitant about CAI/SRI. its not the money. But concerned about water for CAI and needing a heatshield for SRI

Will come up with something. Will need to pull the bumper apart when the weather's better to make up a mini shield to block water.

From the way i see it, i just need to put a piece of plastic between the under tray & the filter and also between the chassis & filter. Shouldn't even need to tape it down as its only there to prevent the water from splashing onto the filter and there's already holes in the undertray for any water to leak out.
