I don't know what there is to say, go search up a picture of an installed G35 popcharger and just position the heat shield like that. If it doesn't fit, unbolt the cone filter and put the shield in first. Good luck.

I have had one on my '03 coupe for a number of years now, no issues. Ever think of calling JWT? The phone number is 619 442-0680
