Default Under The Hood

To those of you with C.A.I.:
Exactly how is it routed?

Is there any body panel cutting or repositioning to be done? I wouldn't think so, since the TRD intake is C.A.I. But I don't see enough room under the hood to put one in.

Also, my friend and I were comparing cars the other night--he has a Celica--and we noticed my car has what look like mounting holes for a full engine cover, similar to the Celica. Is a cover available?[/i]

Does the engine cover do anything or is it just for aesthetics? I wouldn't want to pay to add even a little weight and restrict my access to what's underneath unless there was a reason to do it.

Your engine already has a plastic engine cover. I believe it weighs like 10oz lol. Won't effect anything.
