Description
I printed mine with 100% infill and support material just touching the build plate. I did not use internal supports. Feel free to experiment ot see what works best for your printer and material. Using either a brim or rafting is also probably a good idea. The footprint of the part alone is not very big.
I have played around with the tab trying to get it to lay flush so it would not flex and possibly crack. This might change from car to car. Be careful when tightening the screw. Using a small thin rubber washer between the plastic tab and the car might help with any misalignment. Maybe even just cut off the tabs and use a small metal angle bracket like the stock ducting uses.
Hope you like it.

| PETG | $29.00 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $32.50 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $31.50 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $37.50 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $37.50 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |

Pricing assumptions and exclusions
USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.
Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.
Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
