LMR Intake concerns, with pic
With all the concerns about the LMR intake shield not fitting properly, I thought I'd post a pic.
Here's a pic of the shield before I finished the install. As you can see the shield fits really good and matches the shape of the car well. http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/p...takeshield.jpg After I finished. http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/pp114/SGOS/093.jpg |
You will be very happy with your LMR CAI.
Wait until you hear the change in the sound of your car! |

Keep an eye were it contacts the paint for rubs. The dealer also pointed out to me today that the upper edge of the piece was creating an indentation in the pad on the hood. |

Yes, that's how it arrived. No changes were made. Actually, most of it doesn't even make contact. It looks like it does, but its just away from touching the car. There's really only 3 main contact points on that one side. The very bottom, the spot where it attaches with the nut, and at the very top end where it butts up against the side of the car. I don't see rubbing being an issue at all. You obviously got a pre-production model before they finished making changes. Why?:iono: |

If mine, I would get some small vacuum line tubing, preferable the cloth-braided type like those used on classic VW Beetles as they are more plyable/flexible, and measure it to the length of the edge, cut a slit in the middle of the entire length of the vacuum line and attach it to the bottom edge of the shield. The vacuum line will act as a cushion/seal to protect the paint. |
and then the vacuum line, will rub the paint.
put a strip of paint protection film along the area in question. should only cost pennies. |

Hmmm..I like your idea of some type of film to put on there. |
When your spending around $400 for a CAI you shouldn't have to do anything.
As of now the LMR CAI is my #2 choice. ADM's is #1 in my book at the moment. However I'm still 6 mths away from getting my hands on an SS and I'm sure there will be more options at that time. Not that we necessarily need more options. |

If you look at the pictures he posted in his thread, his intake shield isn't the same as mine. |
I am always amazed how people can find the smallest thing to complain about......
The LMR CAI is one of the best CAI for the Camaro to date..... |
