Dang this is nice, my 8 RS is getting a nose job! Can you tell me what type of soldering iron/gun did you use? wattage? brand? etc.

Looks really nice, is it now just an open hole to the engine bay or did you find someway to replace the grate that was there, like on the 9s?

take the grill mesh out of each area...put the duct in place and mark each hole with a sharpie...drill them out and rivet them in

pretty straight forward just take your time
