Thank you for the advice. unfortunatly I have tried a few time to register for that site and The anti spam question does not make sence. I then refers you to the sit admin for any registration issues and that has an anti spam question as well.... here it is: Please type only capital letters in this word SciKotics in the box....

I have no idea what that means and when I try to contact the admin the same question is there...... AAHRRRGG.......
Please type only capital letters in this word SciKoticS in the box.

It's pretty straightforward; it says type only the capital letters you see in their logo. If you copied and pasted that line, then the capital letters in the word are SKS which is gonna be the filter's code.

So I purchase a 60$ hood and let me tell you.... You get what you pay for. this hood is a P.O.S. Doesn't matter now cause 2 weeks after I intalled the hood I side swiped someone while changing lanes and his car ripped the whole fron end off my car. Now its in the shop and getting a new hood. Yay I guess...

Meaning it was installed wrong, no lock out to prevent it from starting if the car was in gear.

Well to my defence, I let a friend borrow my car for a food run at work and when I got off work, I used my remote start to warm up my car. 10min later I walked to my car and saw the damage. There was a combination of issues.
1.The guy that borrowed it didn't even set the parking brake. I have tryed to remote start with the e-brake on and it will try twice rolling the car forward maybe an inch or two but, it ultimatly it fails and sends a start error to my keys. In a nut shell I shouldn't have let him borrow the car and knowing someone had used it prior I shouldn't have remote started it.

As for the incorect installation, I guess they did, probably why the place is now out of buisness, shotty work.

sorry for the crappy spelling......
