This is a big speed hole from TIKT

Initially I thought the TIKT design would be the most aesthetically pleasing. However, that looks horrendous. More interested in Gspeed's solution presently. Not to even mention bye bye front cameras with this TIKT design.

I'm installing now on my car and adding some mesh to keep the animals and children out. 
TIKT has mounted the front cameras with an alternate bracket.
The PDR camera is in the rearview mirror.

It's just my opinion but I like it. I will reserve final judgement until we see more pictures from different angles and distances.

My thoughts exactly. Initially I thought the extra holes in LG's/ G Speed's solution wouldn't look good, but not only has it grown on me, it looks better than the Tikt design.

It is. $8000 for parts plus fabrication / installation. I see this as minimum $11,000 intercooler upgrade. That can be the money to spend on a trade in for 17 and start with slightly better cooling platform and then add aftermarket cooling components when and if needed. Just my 2 cents

Gotta be crazy to spend that kind of dough for the mod when you can use it for a trade-on a 17.

It looks great to my eyes. My only reservations are the price and fact that the brake ducts were cannibalized in the process. Front brake cooling is paramount on this platform.

All spare parts
All work
Soo, they can at 35 degrees, 30minutes race with slick without problems!
15000.-
It is the vehicle, very, very quickly because all the temperatures are very low

Most important of all, all the gears are round after round turned out to just before the red line.
So does track driving fun, all temperatures stable, PDR works, brake cooling works better than in series and also IAT3 remains within the healthy range.
Oh, the Cameras from 2016 model fit perfectly into the front grille.

True, but there is more to that car than just the TIKT intercooler kit. He does have large oil coolers and large radiator. I have seen it in other posts somewhere before he even installed the TIKT kit. Would an A8 Z06 survive 30 minutes hardcore driving in 95F ambient on just TIKT intercooler kit alone? I don't know the answer but my guess is no. Maybe you do have data for a car with TIKT intercoolers alone. If someone is going to spend over 10k on intercooler kit, the results better be zero overheating. If you have to add a radiator and other oil coolers where the cost is over 15K, then this would be tough to sell.
There is no question that TIKT has done a great job on this kit. The ball was dropped on pricing. You can argue that CF is expensive, well that's your challenge to come up with an affective solution at a reasonable price. US market is very competitive. Good luck.

Of course, we also change the water cooler and obstruct an oil cooler!
We are in Spa with two A8 Z06 at 27C ° and we had no problems, only after 5-6 rounds (each round Spa is 7km long) goes high transmission temperature! A solution is already in the works.
