This is a follow up on Post #78.

 

I extended the opening down another 2.5" for a longer opening

 

doesnt help me much now

 

yeah, i know - sorry bout that. I never had issues when we test fitted originally - i'm not sure what we did to pull the filter but we got it out through there

 

fitment is horendous..if i ever take this off my car im drilling out the holes and will have to add big washers

 

post pics please

I never had an problems with fitting on any of the cars I installed personally.

 

cant tell by pics since bolts r in...but entire thing took me over an hour to put on..not including jacking up car and removing old plastic one..i actually couldnt even get all the bolts in..i think theres 2 holes that dont have bolts

 

what year is your X?

I had someone pm just yesterday with 2 of the rear bolts not lining up right. Hadn't had any problems before. I'm trying to figure out how these cars are different from the others who have installed with no issues at all.

 

2005

 

if you can take a pic for me that would be great. I know many people with a 2005 - no issues during install. I'd like to see what's different. I understand it may not be today, but if you can get some and send them to my email that would be great.

 

hole alignment is a really small issue, just grab a dremel to widen the holes as needed.

 

True, but I'd still like to see the issue. On the X models I installed it on myself I was able to mount with no adjustments.
