Some good news...Some bad
Well the good news is that my sport bumper arrived finally after 3 months. In perfect shape nonetheless.
JDM rainguards came in as well...
The bad news is either JHOT or UPS cheesedicked the packing/shipping of the headliner I bought...
It was shipped with a piece of cardboard and bubble wrap over the top and stuck on a pallette. If they were smart they would have shipped it in a large box so thered be at least bufferzone in case of impacts during shipping. I was out of the country when it was delivered. So when I got back this is what I found after unwrapping...

Must be an optical illusion. The vents fit better than any replicas Ive seen and their job is to channel hot air OUT of the engine bay. The intake draws its air from the fenderwell...

thats one hell of an optical illusion than lol
and yes i knew the hot air is channeled out. i use to have 22b vents before i got my cf hood. and i always realized after a drive than the vents were producing an airway for the hot air in the engine bay to come out of
was just wondering about the left one being skinnier than the right. oh well.

i just realized something...
the one on the left is upside down in the picture. the thicker part is towards the front and the back part is thinner. wow.
