After you paint it you can put plastic door edge guards on the cut edges.

Kevin, that looks great!

I'm definatly going to do that to mine soon as a cheap HP pickup until i get more money for a whole new intake.

What are the prices everyone is paying for a K&N filter? I went to autozone, and it was $60+. :eek:

Anywhere online that has a better price? :)

FYI: Dremel makes a heavy duty cut off wheel. They're about 3 times thicker than the "standard" cutoff wheel.


Good tip. Maybe if I use those I won't have to worry about how the disc fragments fly out at high speed when they break anymore.
I've yet to break one of the heavy duty ones. Used one to cut off about 25 screws on an arbor I built. The thin ones are dangerous! :eek:
