Fit and finish is PERFECT. I was worried about it looking out of place but it actually looks good. Open the hood and it's the first thing noticed.

Looks good! Their product has always looked top notch in pictures. Never seen a bad fit, at least in pics.

Enjoy!

CAI was the 1st mod I did to mine when I got my '07 in 2006. Got 6700 on the clock and no issues at all. Just checked the filter the other day and still looks factory fresh.

That's the single "flaw" in their kit. They need to develop a piece to cover that as well as act as an insulator from the heat that will transfer to the air bridge at that point.
