picks of my mods

My cheep *** self only spent $300 so far, heres what I got:

Spectra Cai from Oreileys auto $25 filter and some extra parts laying around from the whipwhipwhipwhip build up

Routed the ducting $20 behind the headlight into the grill by the fog light.

Little tight but no cutting required

black sip ties to the grill and a little trimming of the air scoop for the rad was needed.

IMO All filters besides OEM let more bad stuff into the engine. Now will it hurt it thats another story. You ever hear those stories about world war 2 how when a engine on the airplanes would burn to much oil they would throw small amounts flour into the intake to scuff the sides of the pistons ? Now i know the engines where a bit diffrent but the idea is interesting.
