I don't know. I would be a little worried about water. Not to mention the life of that filter.

Anyone have one installed?

Yeah, I'd assume that filter would get trashed. But since you have the lower grill in your bumper, that may shield it enough. I'm not so sure though. If anything else, just go Injen. I am.

well, the lower grill is open though... i think it would be a HUGE pain in the ass evertime it rains, and you have to take the bumper off to put that cover on?

Not too mention how bad that intake is going to look. There is a reason that no one has it on their car. Don't be that guy...

Well any ram air effect is negated by the acrylic guard on the front. More of a visual mod I would say.

I would not buy it. It will give you more problems than gains. I wonder how many of those things that they have actually sold.

Not to mention it will block air flow to the H/E and the radiator and the condenser...
