Cuts look terible, needs some plastic edge over the cut edges and maybe repaint it.

^^^^ I agree. You need to clean up the edges a bit, then it would look better.

I'm not sure how functional it will be without being enclosed. I had the FIPK before switching recently to the FTRA setup...the car seems to respond much better after the change....this is without a new tune being done yet.
My buddy did the switch before me and had his car re-tuned, they found that his IAT decreased substantially, and throttle response was better with his SLP version of it.

If the owner of those shots just tossed some black door bolding from autozone on there it would look pretty good.
