Put mine on yesterday. Very easy install, took an hour, but I go really slow and careful when working on my own car.
It looks excellent and the engineering is sound.
I think it is an excellent product to help get more cold air into the air box.

I think the engineering is very sound. The heat shield basically forms a larger air box that pulls colder air from the fender. In my opinion it is a very clever solution to get more cool air in the air box. Plus the carbon fiber looks great. After looking at it you could literally build one out of sheet metal, although it would look terrible and I believe you should pay R&R racing for their idea.
I drove my car very hard yesterday. The air was in the 50 degree range with high humidity ( overcast) here in Northern California. I took my car out in the country for some hard pulls. Since the roads were cool and my tires not getting to full heat I was loosing traction off the line. It feels faster on a day when the tarmac and tires are warmer. Since traction makes a bigger difference than 11 claimed horsepower would. I also doubt I would feel the difference even in perfect conditions.
