Is it possible to order one without any mounting holes drilled? My car has been in a little wreck and I'm sure none of the holes will perfectly line up. So I rather drill the holes myself. If so, I'm interested!

The holes are slightly slotted already. If it still won’t line up, you should get your car on a frame rack so other things fit correctly.

My car was in a fender bender so I had some alignment issues, but all it took was a few whacks with a hammer and it was perfect.

Once you start bolting it in place it helps, too.

I have a TDR IC in post #203, so, having some doubts, as the TDR logo is right there, lol. But, bottom line is you have to fabricate mounts and cannot use the plastic air guides, since these bars require cutting out the structure that the TDR IC is designed to mount to.

Thank you for explaining this. I saw you asking earlier in your 1st post about if it fit but missed that info if you put it up. So I really appreciate your time to post this up.

Also waiting on an update for this. Would definitely like to purchase the ducting kit if one is made available.

If both of you could toss me an email at leftlaneautodesigns@gmail.com with the title "Miata Ducting Kit", we could potentially get the ball rolling. I've been brainstorming with people on how to successfully pull this off, but would like some info on your specific setups (aka radiator brand, NA or NB, any additional heat exchangers used besides radiator, etc). Lots of variables at play to successfully pull this off, but now that my NB is running, its possible I could work with a local fab shop to get prototypes made on my car to pass on to you...

Being completely transparent, price point is likely going to be the main point of debate to successfully retail these. Material costs are high and the expectation to laser cut and form a ducting kit for a price people are willing to pay is going to be the challenge.

I don't know how you'd be able to provide a generic ducting kit given all the configurations out there.
Figuring out bespoke ducting is hard enough.
You'll probably need to provide a generic solution that requires users to cut it up according to their configuration, or cardboard templates that users can customise and provide to you for manufacture.
