AC should still blow cold with the door even having little to no foam. It's the heat that will suffer as the blend door being open will only really allow the system to get up to ambient temps + a little more. I'd redo the whole door just for good measure. Most seem to cut the bottom under the dash near the pivot arm and drop the door but this sounds crazy to me as now the HVAC system has been compromised as it's all sealed. I was able to pop the pin off the blend door and use HVAC tape very carefully along the whole door. Having the pin out allows you to swing the door back and forth with your fingers while working. It's very frustrating with the tape as you need to slide it in place without the sticky side hitting first. (Think the game operation). Metal HVAC tape is key here as it keeps it shape and can be slid into place. My heat is back to 100%.
thanks for this... i figured while i was in there and since i remember getting blown in the face with foam i'd just tape it up anyway... popped the pin off and pulled the door... looks like the backside was where it was starting to come off so it was just a matter of time... i'll button everything back together today, clean up the crap in the bay... and run some dye through the AC to try and find the leak...

Surprisingly, they were perfect. In fact, pretty happy with the whole thing - am thinking I may go with the GT2 wing now to balance it out...
A couple more for good measure...
Looks great. Weird the gap is that big from the vent to hood as mine was very small on all my gt2 bumpers. If not already, you can also run the black plastics under the lights to make a little more tighter gap around the bottom of the headlights. I never did. Really looks nice. A good alternative to OEM and much cheaper!

We discussed, and I have an extra set of, the factory strips that go between the light and the top of the bumper - it was decided that we didn't want to slot the cover to make them fit because there was no template to align those slots with, and, if someone made a mistake slotting them, there would be no going back.
Good eye, Kamlung, I wondered if anyone would catch that.

I actually asked for them to increase the gap because I have big meat clubs that double as hands and I couldn't fit my finger between the hood and latch easily in the OEM position...
