Check the DIY section. I believe modshack did the mod for more air flow to the air filters.

yeah, i read that, and that's what raised the question in my mind. did nissan put the removable covers to help owners with future upgrades, or was there something like an oil cooler or brake cooling ducts that were originally part of the design of the car but were left out of the production model and replaced with the plastic cover instead?
