Gary in BR also has the Kokeln scoops, you just can't see them well in photos because they're black on a black car. I think mine fit well and are well made, but they are way too expensive IMHO. I worry too that they're too easy for a vandal to damage. Just grab and pull hard and there's $650 down the drain!!!

I wanted mine for two years and even entertained making my own. But in the end I broke down and shelled out for the Kokeln's. I've seen a couple other intake designs. I think a TechArt design was just recently discussed, but the Kokeln's are the only ones with an actual ram air type of "scoop" that I've seen.
