Both are pretty damn clean (nice work), the after pictures have a lot more polish and shine in them. Mines somewhere in between the two.

Very nice!

I'm curious as to how you rerouted or deleted the rubber air hose that is connected to the factory lid (on the driver's side)? I shortened mine by a few inches and stuck a K&N filter on it, but I like how you've totally done away with yours. Have you experienced any problems as a result?

Other than that, you just have to remove the pump or whatever it is that sucks the air from underneath the front driver's side headlight. Took me about 30 minutes to do the whole job, and I haven't noticed any downsides to doing it.

On the contrary, its nice not hearing that damn hissing sound everytime I turn the car on
