the side pieces of mine are on but the center section is not. I asked the body shop if they had to dremel out a section and they said no. so upon closer inspection the stock (center piece) of the air dam on the spring load is not present so i guess i will throw it on and see what happens. i guess that means i have to cut the carbon piece. has anyone tried cutting the air dam instead? i feel bad trimming such a nice piece of carbon

fixed this problem yesterday. Cut out exactly what was needed to mount the stock air dam and no problems with heat at all anymore. I will get pics up as soon as i can. Side skirts are moulded in and so is the rear carbon lip. Looks bad ***. Now all i need is a rear section in carbon to the car is lower all around

The radiator supports are a bit lower but you will not need the "fangs". If you install a new front spoiler and you accidentally hit a curb with the radiator supports or "fangs" you will need a new spoiler. 90% of the time I back into a parking spot.

I see that happening to me in the future.

Any chance you can reload the pics, they are dead links now? Yes, I know it's a 5 year old thread, hoping for the best.

Yeah, the pictures stopped working. I wanna see it too! If you use a picture loader, like photo bucket, and erase the pics from your loader before leaving it a few days, they will dissappear. You have to let it sit on the site for 5 days, or it will likely erase the used history of your images, wherever you posted them.
