hmm if you could make a lid cover *i know its not ideal*, but that sure could help when getting pulled over by police since they cant see an air filter

Why would that setup in the picture make anyone worry about cops? Really, i don't see anything wrong with it.

If AL isn't the only material you are interested in, Mariah Motorsports makes a fiberglass box.


I feel sorry for you CA guys. I can only imagine what the CA cops would think if they ever saw my car.

naw they'd probly just give you alot of fix - it- tickets for not running with stock parts. as along as your doing nothing stupid and just going with traffic they wouldn't notice. but if you get out of line in front of them they'll do the same and bump up things. i believe the first few seconds a cop meets you and have that first eye to eye conversation they judge from there what type of person you are.
