I have a plan to install the AEM CAI with extra large filter pods so that it sits right in those vents.
As far as temp reductions, I doubt you'd see any significant changes unless you give that hot air a place to escape. The hood is also super sexy, doesn't detract from the vehicles lines, and is certainly functional; hood + bumper make a superb combo.

Here’s a direct shot of the filter locations with this front end.

After installing this intake I’d like to point out that the meshing will need to be slightly convex formed to prevent rubbing on the filter caps.

Edit: The filters that come with this kit are quite large, glockwork appears to have found an alternate choice (page 2) which leaves more room.

I also sprung for the filter covers due to moisture and dust.

Trimmed the splash guards directly under the fender shrouds as well, I wanted access to the filters so I could cover them with bags during a wash without having to remove the bumper.

Are those filters the same size as the ones in this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsIsXhTufbg

His look tiny compared to yours

Yes, same exact filters.

The video doesn't do the dimensions justice, even the pipes look smaller.

The fitment for the Fujimura bumper was very spot on, every corner of the bumper lined up with the car. My body shop pretty much just did paint which saved me tons of money.

For pricing, like Madwi said it will run around $850 for FRP and $1.2k for partial CF but it doesn't stop there - shipping will f*ck you hard in the a$$ if you live in the states because it'll costed almost as much as the bumper lmaoo.

On mine I'm about to pair it with brake ducts (after deleting my reservoir) and the Dewla air guide because there's just so many vents on this thing. My good friend and forum member Hojin Om was able to run this bumper with the Fast Intentions tow bar and intercooler. Even my zspeed aluminum undershroud fit perfectly.

To people that are running their windshield reservoir, Fujimura Auto will include a removable black cover that perfectly surrounds the passenger side vent of the car. Reps don't come with this and will just leave you with a huge hole where you can see the fugly reservoir, also no mesh on all the vents and no middle vent rivets.

I had to trim that whole center piece out of mine but I fit it with the BP kits intercooler and FI tow bar.

I’d like to second this. When I stopped by my local shop during the prep phase, the guy doing fitment and prep said it was the best kit he’d ever put his hands on.

I think the Fujimura front bumper is the nicest out there. Where is the best place to order from? I am considering on getting one.

Bulletproof Automotive and Vivid Racing are the two which immediately come to mind for authentic parts.

I'm using a Japanese import company in my country. They buy the part for you and have it delivered to their shipping container in Japan. When it's full they have it sent to their office here in Australia. I'll then use a freight auction service to have it delivered to me. This will be slower but I should save a bucket-load.

You can also buy car engines or other parts on Yahoo Japan auctions and have them sent this way.
