I just saw this post; US customers will get a better price from us instead of direct. we offer the same price as the deal but with free shipping in most cases

The overall appearance is top notch and an excellent addition to my cf engine bay accessories 🤩
Any tips on the tools used to access the inner bolts on both inlets? I am beginning my install in a couple of days and any advice would be appreciated.

I just did this a couple weeks ago...Long extension with a swivel. Wrap the swivel with electrical tape so it isnt floppy. Do passenger side first.

*disconnect the battery* (not optional, you'll have an extension on/near the alternator hot wire)

Bend the swivel enough to get it to hold at a slight angle then work to get it on the passenger side inner bolt. Once it's fully unscrewed, keep holding it in there with one hand, then use a claw retriever in the other to grab the bolt and pull it all out.

For driver's side, bend the swivel again, then bring your left hand in through the hole where the passenger side inlet used onto be and help guide the bit into the bolt. Unscrew and use the claw again.

Install drivers then passenger's.

I second this.
Battery must be disconnected for sure.
I somewhat fixed the swivel with a tape, so it wouldn’t move too much.
It’s a tight operation, but it can be done with everything in place.

Good luck and post some pics

Either disconnect battery or at least lay a microfibre cloth or something over alternator wire, because when you touch that wire with you extension you will jump out of your skin!!!! Job is also much easier with charge pipes removed.

The battery is so easy to disconnect that I wouldnt even bother risking the microfiber falling off or something.
