i think that the duct is the on the wrong side and it isn't just the pic.
check out this pic:

you can see that the steering wheel is on the right hand side of the car and the intake is on the same side.

THAT WAS THE FIRST THREAD THAT I ASKED THAT QUESTION ON!!! I'm still torn however. I don't know if that is the model or the JDM. If it is the U.S. model then everything is gravy. However if it is JDM then obviously that thing has some crazy **** under the hood or they wouln't have made it that way.

Square one.

my guess is that the car does have a crazy intake under the hood but i can't seem to find any pics of the car with the hood open.

that's not the intake duct...if you look at the ebay pictures again, you can see the intake on the right, the duct just leads to nowhere...but it's nice to have an opening there to cool the turbo i guess. whether JDM or USDM, the intake are all the same - on the right side (when you're facing the car that is).

i can't believe so many people thought the picture was reversed. obviously if it were, all the words would be backward!

anyhow, i too think that duct is for cooling the engine and the turbo, and doesn't function as an intake duct.

either way, its a freaking rip-off, even if it is for both the hood AND the bumper. its classic jdm mark-up in the states.
