Just burned the midnight oil to install this thing (after waiting over a month for it). I opted for the Blue Kevlar. It is absolutely beautiful, but you can only really see the blue hue under bright light. Not sure if it's worth the added investment. Because I received one of the first units, Eventuri hadn't posted installation instructions to their download site yet. It's a Saturday, so I figured I wouldn't be able to get some direction from either IND or Eventuri. I took a chance and emailed Eventuri and I was shocked to get a response later in the day. HUGE kudos to Bilal Mahmood, Eventuri Engineering and Development. He promised to develop and publish installation instructions immediately, even though it was 10:30 pm there! He emailed me at 2:00 am their time with the document. Exemplary service!!! Installation was pretty straight forward, except the ram air scoop behind the grille. Of course, that entailed removing the accursed grille which is never an easy job. Tip for those contemplating purchasing and self-installing this: install the bracket for the ram air scoop first, then attach the scoop to the bracket. You'll never be able to properly tighten the nut securing the mounting bracket to the cross brace if you do it the other way around per the instructions. Extremely high quality item, commensurate with the price. Haven't driven the car yet due to the late hour. Further review to follow. But so far, I'm loving this thing.

Superb car porn, at the very least! Did you ever get satisfaction that this design is effective for getting cold air? I haven't seen temp numbers on this piece for the M2, although I have seen good temp numbers on Eventuri intakes for other cars....

I do think the air scoop will increase efficiency. I have an Awron, so I should be able to quantify temperature differences. But it is absolutely beautiful. I'll probably be opening the hood every time I stop for gas, groceries, stoplights...

Jesus, that's really beautiful equipment. Love the blue hue as well. I noticed all your tracks in the back/top right! That's pretty cool.

Thanks for posting.

Need a feature similar to the Samsung refrigerator that sends you pictures when the hood is closed.

Looks great, and yes the scoop is always tricky, even on the M3/M4.

I thought I remember reading something like $2k+ but could be wrong.
