Hi Joe. Not bad. Would like to see a pic of this from the straight back point of view. a couple of thoughts - 1. the intake pieces are different (left/right) so the look of your scoops may be different. 2. I have a cold air intake on my car i.e cone filter and no snorkel. as a rule, I don't drive int he rain but do get caught once in a while. I'm always weary of water getting into the filter. It seems that with scoops the water may accumulate on the bottom and get into the filter. Any ideas? may be some drain holes?
Thanks.

Quick update on the ducktail. First section of the mold is complete, starting to lay up the second part of the mold today.

Yes sir it is. I sell those for 400 normally. If you get one with a ducktail I'll do it for 350 plus shipping.

How much ground clearance on the air dam? What is the finish like...black gel? Are they hard to install? Are they installed to existing fastener locations or is more drilling required? I've been looking for something to make the front look a little more aggressive but I'm concerned with scraping.

At factory ride height there is 5-1/4" ground clearance. The finish is shiny black gelcoat. Installation could be about 20 minutes if you stop to have a coffee. There are no existing fasteners on the Boxster as there was never any provision for any kind of front aero. The plastic pieces at the bottom back corners of the bumper need to be removed and the splitter plugs into the slots where the were. Additionally there are 5 3/8" holes required to be drilled into the bottom of the bumper to attach the splitter. I am supplying rubber blind nuts for the install. When I did the original GT3 piece a few years ago one customer came up with this solution to keep the splitters on as they were having problems with the factory plastic push pins. Take a look at this link and it will give you an idea of the install.
