This is what happens when the girl you are dating decides you have to leave at 2am on Friday the 13th....

Chris, It should have the box, lid, tube, coupler for connecting tube to throttle body + 2 clamps, clamp for connecting tube to filter, and filter. What it might be missing is the 6 inch hose and definitely the shrink tube to connect the vacuum hose to the tube. Maybe the MAF housing as well. Don't remember if you re-use the stock one or not. Contact Bill at bhylton@coldairinductions or PM him (Bill @ CAI Inc) for more info about obtaining any parts.

i am so sad about my car...but...i am pretty sure insurance is going to put her back together. when i spoke to the rep today he mentioned to me that i can have the work done at any shop i want and they will pay to tow it there (car is currently in Connecticut). This is provided they agree to repair it and not total it. So...who knows a good local body shop (Cortland/Ithaca area)? I would rather not have to go to Connecticut to pick it up when it is ready and want to be able to check up on it.

Yes ... I took of the trunk drain lids and removed the bezels out to paint , It was actually easy , BUT..... the trick is take you time on the Bezels ,, the tabs are really easy to break , If you get the top two out the other tabs come right out , There's a DIY video in that section on here , That helped me alot ... I will replace them done the road with custom painted ones . But for now for $6.00 it was worth it...

Winks in Ithaca did a good job on my splitter repair. The only other place I've heard anything about is Gary's Auto Body in Moravia. They are supposed to be pretty good.
