What file extension(s) do you work with? I'll open those up to uploading on MVS Forum.
So far I'm using a mixture of sketchup and fusion 360.

Sketchup extension .skp
Fusion 360 .f3d
Exported files .stl
Added these. Can you test one?

It says invalid file extension on all 3 of those extensions. If I really start modeling more parts, I may have to make an account of thingiverse and just link my projects here. Some of these files can get quite large.

I had to replace the attaching plates on my rear bumper and I found I think 2 places that carried them.
Only 1 in the states, I didn't call any dealerships for it. FCP doesn't carry them.
For a minute I thought I was going to have to rig something. Didn't think about buying extras although I should have.
For my next 850, not this one..

Sorry about that. I put those into a group, but didn't make the group "allowed in uploads". I fixed that, so they should go up.

This forum software is insanely granular. Which I like, but if it's something like this, which I haven't looked at for probably 15 years, I need a few tries.

Can you test again?

How big do you see these types of files being, say for a dash model? I'm not afraid of large filesizes... unless they're really, really big.

This is something I worked on several years ago - a custom cold air intake for my 850 Turbo. I built the original input model in cardboard to verify fit, then a nicer one out of black foamcore, then built it digitally in Rhino. I even made a presentation panel for it. I haven't messed with it in years, but since I'm into the hot rod phase of the car's life, I thought I'd drag it out and have another look.

I have no idea how much this drops the intake air temp, but I know it drops in with no interferences. The air duct maintains a constant cross-section along its entire length, and it's designed to accommodate all the factory sensors.
