Thank you very much! Ironically I've never owned a white car before this one, and that is saying something because I'm 60! And I never thought I'd own a white car either. I always thought they looked like kitchen appliances.

But when I saw this one, it was love at first sight. Something about the way white shows off the lines of the car and perhaps the extra contrast around the grill. Don't know, but I was sold!

Yeah, it is not a DD and I do keep it clean. But then again it has only been in the rain once in a little over a year and 5,000 miles!

Great addition.

While Jannetty's CAI Test showed impressive horsepower gains, this mod is worth the cost for the improvement in sound alone! Coupled with my Corsa catback exhaust and Jannetty SCT tune, the performance and sound are like they should have been from the factory!

Awesome man!! I am really glad you are happy!! Thanks for choosing CAI Inc. and be sure to become a friend of our Facebook page for product updates and other fun stuff!!

Thanks! I'm very pleased with the way it turned out.

Think I'm going to be going for that same CAI.

What's the secret to the lid? Tips and tricks? I have one on the way!

ssmike · 05-29-2011, 07:49 AM

Yea, I've heard a lot of complaints about those screws too! I'm seriously thinking about changing over the the CAI so I'd like to know too! The black looks incredible!

Unfortunately, no. The directions are good, but the fit is very tight along the fender line and requires considerable finagling to get it to line up correctly so the fasteners work. Just have patience and don't be in a hurry!

Mine lid went on just fine. Make sure you tuck it under the fender like the directions say.

This is one of the best things you can do to ensure a simple installation of the lid. The pic below shows how the lid should be tucked in. Because the fitment is so good, it can be a little tight getting the lid on due to the car moving and settling. But it will go on...I promise!!

I am no mechanic and my CAI Inc. system only took me 35 minutes to uninstall the factory system and plug in the Cold Air Inductions system. The instructions were great and they also had some helpful installation videos on their Facebook page that I viewed before I started. All in all it was very straightforward and I could not be happier with choosing CAI Inc.
