Kinetix plenum and engine cover

I am wondering if anyone with the Kinetix V4 intake plenum has been able to reinstall their engine cover without having to hack it all up? Also the same question with the APS intake plenum. Finally, has anyone had any problems with either intake plenum and what have you done to resolve the problem?

i was able to reinstall my stock engine cover to its original place but i had to cut a very small plastic away at the elbow near the throttle body. plus i had to make a special bracket to mount the rear left bolt.

I bought a 350z enigine cover and cut off the front lip so it does hit against the fan. Looks nice. Also be sure to remove the nissan emblem.

I used the original ones. The cover did rub the the air ducts on top of the radiator, but I fixed that with a few screws. I'll post a pic later today.

I put a spacer between the cover and air duct then put 4 screws in the front edge of the duct and removed the spacer, no more rubbing.
