Ive been considering this mod for a while also. Here are my questions:
1. It looks like when you install it you need to do some modifications to the existing housing on the underside of the hood? How hard is that?
2. Can you install it in your driveway with hand tools, or something you need to go to a shop for?
3. Also, any idea of the effect it might have on a Nitrous kit? Im looking to put the car on the bottle (eventually)
Thanks in advance!

1. Drill out rivets, remove baffles. Very easy but time consuming, just go slow and be careful.
2. You need a handheld drill/screwdriver to drill rivets and install it.
3. No clue, but I don't see why it would matter.

One other question... does performing the FRA mod have any effect on the installation of the BGRA?
Thanks again,
Marc

Any other place to buy it besides Afterthoughts? Man it's expensive! ![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)

Looks awesome with no grilles.
