Looks great, especially above the black engine cover. I was thinking about one but I was concerned it would ride rougher than what it already does.

It looks really good with the trimmed engine covers back on.

Looks GREAT! Now maybe some black door edge/guard fitted to the cut up area to really give it a OE look...

looks good
i noticed that the cuts in the side panels still have the white "fuzz" in the plastic
you can get rid of that with a heat gun or a lighter held from a distance...
lemme know if you need me to elaborate on that for u...

sorry man, there is no white "fuzz". Its clean. What you are seeing is where the plastic was stressed from being cut and filed. I wouldn't install it with the fuzzy stuff still on it. Thanks for the advice anyway though.

i had to cut mine too to work with my custom airbox
you can still use a heat gun to get rid of the white edges though
make it look a bit cleaner...
