ummm...exchange it for the proper one?

the MAF on the 07-08 is smaller than that of the 05-06, so it won't work

silicon around the MAF and zip tie till i get a small plate that goes over it and screw the plate in, not that hard, i dont see what the big deal about it was, just that the MAF screws were on the wrong side

I guess it likely would just have something to do with "Why not purchase the correct one in the first place?"

I agree, accidents happen. But why not simply return it for the one that is made for you car?

No need for name calling, I am just stating that it seems silly to pay for an intake that isn't made for your car, possibly mod it to the point that it is not covered by warranty anymore ... than to simply return it and get the correct one. I am sure that I could make a Chevrolet Cavalier intake work if I spent enough time on it, but why?
