So the airduct I bought looks a little weird. The top portion of the lower inlet (the big one on the bottom) is in the middle of the grill. What I mean is, on the zhp bumper, the bottom of this air duct fits into the bumper, while the top of this air duct does not, instead, it is smack in the middle of the grill.

Could you guys get me some good pictures of your zhp bumpers where I can see the air duct inlet and how it fits?

Not sure if this helps but if you want to see it in relation to other things on the car: http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/24/ezybutag.jpg

When you put the bumper on, does the top of the duct visible through the grill?

Someone else will have to chime in there, sorry. I had my bumper painted so a body shop did all the dirty work

do you have a picture of your bumper because I'm not sure what you mean by "visible"

^^ our air ducts look different. Did they change over the years or are coupes different than sedans?

From your description it sounds like you have one from a sport pkg car. I had the same issue. I returned them to ECS and ordered the correct part from the dealer

Yours is correct. I think I have the wrong one.
