I had the same trouble. The idea of the cold air from the front of the car is great but the unit does not fit without bulging the radiator shroud and the lower bumper area. You will also find that it hits the hood. I sent mine back too, I like a clean fit and finish along with the performance gain. If it does not fit or look professional I don’t want it on my car.

TRAP never hit the hood I had that problem with the blackwing. Only problem with the TRAP is a small bulge on the bottom of the bumper that cannot be seen.

Has anyone ever wondered why none of these manufacturers of air filters dont publish a pressure tests at speed. They claim that there is an advantage and publish nothing to support the claim. I'm not talking about SOP or unsupported track times. Just measure the G'Damn MAF before and after and we'll know. But they don't.
For Example:
"Does the CRAP™ work? A very well known xxxxxx xxxxx Corvette shop told our most recent customer:.........that the CRAP™ works! ", this is not a claim, its hear say at best.
