the duct is NOT a cold air intake...unlike a cold air the intake CAN get soaked and suck in water....the duct just takes air in, but by its design i dont think itll take water in....

oh mannnnn...ummmmmmm.................

First question is...do you know if they duct will fit your front kit? like do they match up. i know the certain bumpers have a different layout than others...so you may have to 'make it fit'.

however, on the OEM bumper it fits right in, after we take out the vfad. It should be fine in the rain. it shouldn't suck up the water unless you run into a flooded area while revving your car; in which case it would still be a long shot to be any threat to your car.

and i said neon's in the rain are bad because if you have them in for a while, bumpy roads have a habit of shooting rocks up at your underbody. One lucky rock exposes a wire or a small crack on the neon, it'll make water a lot easier to get in. Once that happen's, your lights are gone for good.

dude...

6 inches ain't bad...dozer has a mean drop with his rsr's and i'm sitting about an inch lower than your car, i can barely clear a box of cigarettes...what's funnier is that shinka should be sitting pretty low too by now...

6 inches is fine...once you go below that...you'll have to start doing the 'ricer angle' over speed bumps and dips...it's necessary for anybody that lower's their car and value's it's worth.

^what makes you think it's 'going' to the *****?? what makes you think it wasn't always there??

anyways - I'd like to see a pic of what the back of the bump looks like. the gap looks fine and it might fit - but i'd really have to look at it.

p.s.- IMO - go with the exhaust and interior LED's.
