On my car, i just used a civic intake and cut it in half pretty much, flipped it around so it flows from underneath my car and now have my airfilter below the tranny.

Almost every pic posted looks like sh*t. Why try and perform a mod like that and try to keep the car looking stockish only to have it look sh*tish?

After doing that, did you feel even the slightest increase in power? And what about driving in the rain, i know it wouldnt be very much water getting in but is it enough to hurt anything?

So the light won't close (on that white car)??



I like the look of the hole in the light better than that.

Yea it's only functional at night (with the headlight open) but I honestly do feel a bit of a gain... all it does is allow nice cool air to get in vs. the heat soaked air that would normally be getting in. I have been thinking and thinking and thinking about how I wanna do it next time instead and I think I have a better plan thought out. As soon as I get ahold of another turn signal housing I plan on redoing it.

The white car has "sleepy" eyes. He also removed all the stock lighting and replaced it with the high intensity driving lights.

Here is a pic with the lights on:
