It will fit all the 55K cars.
The one thing I dont like about their kit is if you look closely at their intake funnels they are designed to just sit BEHIND the grille. They dont seal up against the plastic inlet tubes that are protruding through the grille. This would allow them to take in hot engine air and would probably result in a higher IAT reading.
The stock tubes seal perfectly against the inlet tubes in the grille so there is no chance of sucking in hot engine air.

I can get some nice CF trim for my interior with that price.
