That's great except I've been waiting for Lotus (via FVMC) to get back to me. I've been begging, pleading with them to let me spend my money there. They seem to have earned all the money they can handle, because Lotus doesn't seem to want my money, or to sell me parts. They never call back. Not once in 3 months of asking.

When you say "bonded", what do you mean? I thought it was just adhesed/glued to the surface, which would seem reversible. Are you saying it is not reversible, and the ducting is permanent? That seems odd. Or maybe we're talking about different things?
