No pix..... the brackets bolt on top of the sway bar drop links and then the guides bolt to the brackets ....they cost around $120.00...not a lot for your money...but the results of them on the track I can see will be huge....I do not think these are available in the aftermarket either...unlike strut braces ect....so your only option at this point is 
genuine accessories..or nothing......hope this helps to all of you deciding...also bought locking wheel nuts at approx $25.00

So this is different than the Venturi tunnel "splash guards" that the dealer installed on my Evo? Just curious since those channel cooling air straight to the wheel well. I'm guessing you're talking about something else entirely though - unless you've got one super-greedy dealer :P

Sorry to belabor the point, but I love strong brakes, and if they help, I'm buying them!

hmmmm...
wasn't what I was thinking...
looks like a vertical air diverter. For some reason, I was thinking that it was flat, coming from the existing air channels under the front.
