I've had my BGRA kit on for over three years and it works great. Just remember to coat the gasket with a little bit of oil to keep it from drying out and it will seal perfectly. It's also cool that BG sells replacement gaskets. Also... a word to the wise... NEVER slam the hood once it's installed. Lower it and gently seat the hood latch. Some jackass at the dealer slammed my hood and shattered the gasket housing. 
It still works, just not as perfect as it should. Too bad BG doesn't sell those replacement parts. It also looks killer from the front with no screens.

i was considering getting one, then i decided that the price was a bit too steep, so i took the baffles out and some sealing foam on the hood to seal the box, adn i used epoxy putty to smooth out the nostrals for a nice smooth flow.

i installed the bgra and it works great with the ws6 hood, have had no problems in the rain with water getting in, your moving fast enough so what little water gets in won't hurt anything

mine didnt go through the filter into the motor but dude the faster you go the worse it is. i wish i took pics, that filter sat for 2 days and never dried. i would recommend putting the rain blocker in, little too mcuh water in the cc and caboom!

Any of you guys have pictures of what you did? I've been interested in doing this.....that stock setup where it comes thru the hood and has to go up and around the baffles seems like it would be restrictive as hell, not to mention diminishing the whole "ram air" effect.
