The battery cover looks nice. I kinda want to get one.


Not to criticize, but you could potentially be losing some HP with that cone filter open in the engine bay. There is no shielding to prevent hot engine bay air from entering it. Might be costing you some HP over the stock setup. I've seen it happen many times before. Even something like this shields it slightly and directs cool air into the filter

Well, i beleive that is an entire kit. It's a JWT Pop charger. Unsure if there are any separate shields you can buy

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Lose the pop charger/open air filter and get the revup airbox with a high-flow drop in filter. You won't regret it.
