As do I It opens up your engine bay as well, and allows you to show off your turbo more.

I drove the car around yesterday and I noticed that the car did not shake as much when you are almost going to stall if you were at a light. One weird obeservation was 4th gear seemed to feel different after I installed the damper. Going from 5 to 4 felt the same but going from 3 to 4 felt a little different. I need to remove the damper and see if that was the case. As you can tell I rarely beat my car and I only have 6,800 miles on it.

Everything that I got from Rexpeed fit like a glove

Hey thanks for the kind words. I did not design the cf bumper ducts from Rexpeed so I can not answer your question.
