Holy crap man!

Please tell me you were doing something other than installing the CAI when you took the fender and bumper off...

You mean that there's another way of installing the filter? No matter what I did, I couldn't get to it, so I just started removing stuff until I could

no no, you did it the right way

It's just an old pic. I was going through mine and deleting some and I remembered that some people wondered where the filter actually sits. Now, they know.

I just dont want to go through all that trouble of installing a CAI again. It took forever for me to put the bumper and fender back on

you should have more decency than that, at least puta warning on there

e.g. "warning nudity, do not enter if you are under the age of 18 or do not drive a maxima"

needs some work, but you get the idea

Why can't the filter be placed in the engine bay instead of disassembling the whole front end?

It's a lot of work, but that's just what you have to do to install it....

Y'all need to quit making no0bs think that's the way to install a CAI!

That's just wrong.

Are doors Stage I or II?

it isnt tube chasis, thats just a fancy roll cage. lets just skip that whole step, build a tube frame, install engine, steering and seat and scoot down the track, we'll call it Stage V
