Its the size and surface area of the air filter that is to small to allow the engine to breathe properly, those green foam filters look like they be long on a 350cc dirt bike and they appear to be only about 5" dia x 2" in size.

In comparison to the external K/N units they appear to be a 1/3 rd of the size or less.

I'm sorry they are bigger than that. Top Secret uses HKS air filters for their intakes. I havent measured but they are either 200mm (7.87in) or they are the twin 150mm (5.9 in). Most likely with the 80mm inlet.

HKS USA Super Mega Flow Reloaded Kits (more)

Its just my tiltshift photography that makes it look miniature. :P

Why not? Just slide it over the fangs first and then pop it up behind the bumper. I dont even use 3m anymore, just the 4 bolts.

Hey Kaien,

If you are still having issues, you can do what VDC said and plastidip the white on your car first, and also, use some thick duck tape on the backside of the fang cover. I did this on my EVOR fang cover, since I screwed up my bumper with scratches. Just leave a few areas exposed for 3m tape, just enough to hold it forward - the screws on the bottom do most of the work.

Yeah it will do that. What I did was take off my bumper and paint the fangs flat black, this also hid a small white line that was showing behind. Use thin strips of 3m if you dont want that to happen.

I have(if I am not mistaken) the only set of Coilovers made by Z1 Motorsports. I didn't take any pictures of the install before though

They are amazing coilovers and allow you to retain stock height if you wanted to or slam it down. Very versatile and preformed very well on the track. Too bad they never made it into production.
