What's the purpose of the plates? Any cons of removing them?

The Injen CAI does not interfer because it goes down into the bumper area in front of the wheel well.

Looking at the difference in gains/sound reviewed by other members, I'll only go with shorter intakes if the Stillen G3 simply will not work. Plus, not sure if it can be changed, but I like the color of the G3 filters!

Not 100% sure. Probably to keep the airflow a little bit more laminar. The nismo nose is longer and they don't want air curling around the front bumper support. It's not a big deal to remove, if you are putting the g3's on, and if it does cause a problem you can always rivet them back on. I pulled mine off to put on the nismo front brace. Had to cut a slot in them to make it fit and then riveted them right back on.

Well, it can be done, but I gotta go by harbor freight to buy some more tools.

Great info. Makes me think I'll just go ahead and get the G3 and do what needs to be done. Maybe do the nismo braces at the same time
