Hey there Custom, killer looking job on the box. I did something similar. How do you like the sound when you start the car?? You can hear the intake inhaling. I love the sound it makes.

Once again good job.

It doesn't look that bad and it looks like it will work really well as keeping the heat out. Good job!

To be fair, the tape job was killing me too. I'd slit it with a razor if necessary to make it sit flat, if it were my car. Maybe even cut out holes for the screw heads.

so, in your opinion, was this mod worth every penny and minute of labor you put into it?

for the most part i guess. I prefer the stock look, but the added engine roar is worth it. It sounds great now! The increase in performance wasn't as great as I had hoped though. Maybe if I had gotten a better filter. (one that didn't have an end cap and a little larger.)
