Default clear lid and wire mod!!!!

well the title pretty much says it... my awesome gf got me a mti clear lid for christmas and it fits like total *** hole but i got it to fit, and also me and my friend did the wire mod to my car to clean it up just a lil bit... let me know what yall think, engine bay is a lil dirty cause i have not cleaned it in about a month or so...





^^^ i was thinking about getting a black trash bag or something and wrapping the wires up with that and then useing electrical tape to wrap the bag to hide the wires a bit more and also keep them from any water hitting them...

it took about an hour or two... you dont have to extend any wires, only major thing is you have to reground one wire but that is easy... and you have to re-run your right front wheel speed sensor but once again also easy... everything else you need to know is in the sticky up top, good luck and let us know how it turns out!

One thing you might want to consider is removing the MAF sensor screens....it would look much cleaner. They just pull out.

i woulda lost that AIR system on the other fender and straighten your maf. that would bug the **** out of me but im real ****.

i would suggest a k&n air filter with a clear lid like others said, paper filters just look wierd like that...

other than that looks great, i just cant bring my self to put part of the harness in the wheel well where water and objects can get kicked up at it.

Did you take the MAF apart and try it from the inside or try to pull them out from the outside. I should have said pull them from the inside.
