How do I open up cold air intakes?
Has anyone cut openings in cold air intake plastic while still on car?
What is the best way to do this without removing them.
Thanx,

I removed mine completely intact so I would not have to drill them and put Z06 screens in.

Is it a difficult job removing the air intakes and replacing them with Z06 intakes?

OK! Bought a Dremel with the wand. Used plastic cutting tool. Made a template, outlined it with white crayon. Cut like butter.
Thanx,
