sure, with the plastic intake runners. You could open them up but once you cut into the material then their is no way to smooth it out. Kinda think of it like taking a sand paper to your cell phone. You can sand on it but it would never be as smooth. The only way would be to reheat the plastic. This is also fiber reinforced. It would splinter like wood.
Actually we have been porting the new composite intakes for a while with good results. You do not want a super slick surface especially after the injector to aid in tumbling and mixture control. Typically all you can do is remove any mold flash and blend a little though...

ITS DONE AND TESTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Guys I can't stop smiling. 
This car is NUTS!! I started in 2nd gear in M mode. At 2500 rpm it just blew the tires off! So I tried 3rd gear at 3500 rpm and it was sideways all the way to redline! I shifted earily to avoid the limiter and it pined my head to the seat when it hit 4th. I've got to say that with every NOS kit a set of street drag tires are a must. So after the test, I pulled the plugs and every thing looks fine. My A/F ratios stayed @11.0. Once my bottle gets hot that will come up some. I have to say that I have a new respect for the old IS350 now. And everyone needs a NOS kit for x-mas. I may not awsner back for a while because I'm going out to play HEHEHAHA. I've got to go take all my friend for rides

I was wondering where the 55 came from? Standard jet sizing is in 25 hp increments. Unless he is using an odd ball jet combo.
The hp rating is suppose to be rear wheel but I wouldn't think that 50 extra rwhp would be that drastic. 100 shot would be more like that but more than I would be comfortable running with out some major timing pulled...
You have some 205 tires on the back of that thing Jeremy
Congrats on the smooth install.
