I just wanted to let everyone know that I took out the small grill below the driver's side headlight. The piece of grill comes out very easy, just sit very close to the car, reach your arm under the car, push 2 small clips in, then push it out the front.

The car feels much stronger above 50-60mph, the filter sits almost directly behind the small hole. I'm sure it's sucking in a good ammount of air. And because of the dry charger I don't have to worry about it sucking in any water when it's raining.

It doesn't look bad at all, you can't even notice unless you're about 5 feet away from the car.. I'm not sure how it would look on other colors, I have flint mica.

It's definately worth the performance gain. Just figured I'd let everyone know if they haven't tryed this yet.

I was going to do that, but I hated how it looked, so instead, i drilled holes in the fake grill piece.

you could always get the grill master grill , which is mesh and would look good.

I did what CELL and DOUBLE J both said. First i removed the grill. Didn't like the look. I used black eletrical tape to cover the white sticking out parts (if you've done this you know what i'm talkin about) than i decided to drill holes in the fake grill and put it back on. Then i removed it again so my intake can get more air. It gets very hott where i live and the more cool air the better. I have also noticed a little gain in high end.

can you buy those 2 bottom pieces only (the small ones under the headlights)? I do not want the full 4 piece kit, it's too expensive.
