did you mount the front cover with two screws? (one on each side?) anything else needed to modify?
lagging to get a front cover which I need. lol
edit: just realize you cover up the hole for the oil cap.

Hey Victor,,, intake is looking sick! Looking forward to the dyno results...
ITG has been around a long time and worthy enough for F1 cars in Euro. I have had them on my LET intake through all of winter and they have been gr8. Read up at http://www.itgairfilters.com/
Cost is only $22 ea..

When I bought it...it had the drivers side bracket holder for the cover I guess cut off so it wouldn't snap on so body shop decided to take screw off airbox screw in front and drill hole big enough to be able to use the airbox screws to hold cover down firmly and did it to both sides to make it look universal and yes I had them cover the oil cap hole since it serves no purpose on our C32. Its pretty much a perfect fit if the bracket holder was intact on both sides.
i just bought a 63 front cover. coming in soon. trying to figure out how am I going to mount it.
maybe i'll put screw on each side to save the hassle as well, but trying to figure out if there's a way to do a snap-on fit.

yup got the 63 cover. all the tabs needed to be cut off tho, so using the same method as yours with the airbox screws. I'm trying to see if there's any other way as well although I already drilled the holes.

Hmmmm...before we installed it the way it is now it actually snapped on with the tabs that were only available on the passenger side..I went this route by no choice since one side was snapped on while other wasn't...maybe if I had all the tabs I may had to go this route anyway...
