Nice!!! Make sure to keep it clean and now that you officially have the mod bug, you will see your wallet get smaller and smaller as the days go by.

Now you've done it!!! Seek help quick... once you start modding it's impossible to stop.... When I bought mine I promised my (then) wife I would leave this one alone...

Nice mod! I gotta ask, though, how'd you fasten the carbon fiber cover in the back?

What do you mean the carbon fiber in the back...only carbon I have is the Air intake cover...and the Radiator cooling plate. Let me know what your talking about..I think in the back it looks like a reflection.

Haha, sorry for not being clear. The carbon fiber cover has two holes that you fasten it down by, one in the front and one in the back of the cover. You are given a bolt for the one in front. You are told to use one of the clips for the hole in the back, but when I installed my K&N CAI I noticed that the clips were too big for both the hole in the cover and the hole in the car. Were you able to insert a clip or did you have to do something special?

ah ok haha....Yea I used one of the plastic clips..was a ***** to get in there....got it in a little bit and had to use a hammer to knock it in....Then on the bottom left one...there were some black screws that were not put back in from the original intake..just used one of those...10mm screw.

Also did I void my whole engine warrenty putting that in?

Thanks for sharing how you did it. I haven't had any luck. As far as the warranty goes, unless the intake causes the problem, you're fine. But if you do bring the car in for engine for, just make sure you take the intake out first.
