now all you need is the kompressor!

Where did you get the cover and how much did you pay? was the install difficult? Looks great.

thought about that, but labor costs waaaay more than parts....
got them from local dealer... $300 something...
plus kleemann part was $175...
install was not bad except for dremel part (ask frank and he'll tell)...

i think it looks really great but what if I wanted to keep the plastic center piece from the current cover as well as install the c32 cover. would i be able to do that? I love the color and emblem of the c32 cover. I think it would really add to the car at shows since it matches my paint. great mod.

u can't mix & match like that...
plus the stock one with the filter tubes is sooo much heavier...
i prolly achieved 10lbs in weight loss with this mod...

I always thought that the main reason they have that cover was so nobody can see the tarnished aluminum intake.
