Well used to an extent as in it was taken out of the box. Yes, I have the directions so apparently I must just suck at cars. One problem is, the person who repacked it put the screws in a baggy that came open and they fell out of the box where it wasn't taped well. That's no big deal because I'll still get this thing on. I've already put everything back in place in the engine bay. No shrouds or anything. As for the lower scoop, not gonna deal with it. I also F'ed two of those push pins trying to get them back in ... wow those are a bitch. I'm having slight issues with "jamming" the lower scoop into the upper half because it just won't fit right so that it would have a smooth airflow. Later, when I'm ready to finish this and have the screws, I'll try taking another picture to see if it's supposed to look like what I get when I put the lower half on.
Well, thanks for the help Tainted!

so how you makin out with this thing? what did you mean when you said " I'm having slight issues with "jamming" the lower scoop into the upper half because it just won't fit right so that it would have a smooth airflow. " ? do you mean that when you try to slip the bottom duct into the top duct it creates an angle at the connection when you push it tight to the bumper?
