I think it's the seal that's busted on both sides. But, I guess to be sure, I'll take up on that MOTHER kit if I see them at the store today then. I see it has a buffer/drill piece, I don't have a power drill. Though I wanted one, just don't need one yet. Hand-tools are fun lol
EDIT: Seeing someone making a heat-shield for their aftermarket-intake. Reminds me to try wrapping my aluminum tubing (Injen Long CAI) in gold-reflective to cool it down and see if it does anything. Might be fiberglass-silver reflective wrap is what I want.
As long as the acrylic+plastic mating surfaces aren't destroyed, you can use clear silicone to re-seal them. Yeah, you need a drill. So here's your chance to join the power tool party. That's how I've acquired most of my power tools; on a need now basis. As far as the Injen CAI.. Eh, I prefer OEM or Aftermarket set-ups that utilize plastic tubing because of the slower rate of heat soak that those set-ups present as opposed to their metallic counterparts. What I don't like about the OEM set-up is the pleated paper filter media. As they tend to be more restricting compared to the cone type filters offered by most aftermarket set-ups. But don't get me wrong, tho, cuz those Injens look hot.
Just going to keep it like that, hopefully they get destroyed so I can buy a new sub and make a new box... I mostly just do these things for fun and to have a hobby. Once they are done it's onto something else and sometimes it gets expensive.
Yeah, I hear you. It never stops. Looks really good tho

I'll look around for something for $40-$50. Only to be used on drilling in through walls (in home) and polishing/buffing. Worried about stripping bolts and what not with power tools.
For sure, the long-tube Injen really gets hot after a while, I can barely keep my hands on them. I mean, I love the look of the long-tube intakes, I just want to provide a way to suppress the heat out a little longer.
The clear bra for the bumper sounds like a good idea, I can look around my local shop to get quotes. But I am planning to keep that bumper and few other add-ons soon to arrive for about a year or two before making a big change (my end-goal "look").

- You can pick one up at Lowe's/Home Depot for like $30 bucks. And I wouldn't let the possibility of stripping a nut/bolt deter you from getting a drill. It might happen, it might not. As long as you have some common sense you'll be good.
- I personally can't justify spending money on a 'cold air intake' only to wrap it in heat tape thereafter. But I hear what you're saying; they do look good, yes, and since you've already pulled the trigger and bought them, I'd say your options now would be to either wrap them or revert back to OEM.
- Clear Bra info. Try www.xpel.com I've had good results with them. Resists yellowing longer than 3M.
What did I do for my Z today?.. Well, I ran into a flock of these at 70mph on my way to work. They kinda just bounced off my windshield. Scared the shiz outta me. Fun times.
