Does anyone think that the bend will effect the air flow over the mass air at all ?

Well I bent it back. But it was harder then I thought it would be. Which is really strange seeing as how easily it bent inward. I was not able to get it perfect by any means. But it deffinitly looks better then it did. Heres hoping it works okay.

Roebling was hard on it. Had an inner fender well pull loose, a coupler got a cut in it, and a cam actuator started going bad. Just got everything in from CED and Treadstone so I can put it all back together. For a while though, the car was super fast.
