I got rid of my AEM V2 for the icebox, however while installing the ice box, I cannot properly secure the top of the lid down b/c it hits the back of the headlight, anyone know of a remedy for this? With the lid only being secured by one screw. Any guys out there with the icebox on there 99-01 please help!

 

Shouldnt hit any thing. Make sure that every thing else is in place where it should be

 

The first Icebox I bought for my '99 had a half moon shaped hole on the front of the top to clear the headlight. The hole was not big enough, I had to square off the bottom of the hole. I bought a replacement top which didn't have hole at all, so I had to make my own.

 

thats the problem, when everything is bolted in, it just doesnt line up right, ive never done anything with the headlight, but the cap on the back of the headlight is the problem, can the cap be taken off?

 

thats the problem im having, I dont really wanna have to modify the box, got any pics of what you did to yours to make it fit?

 

Sorry, no pics, but why wouldn't you want to modify the box, that's what Comptech did.

 

Comptech modified the box to get it to fit? how so? let me know.

 

Click Here to see modification. I had to cut out the lower left hand corner of the stock opening to get it to fit. I got a new top because the paint started to peel off my first one despite sanding and priming before spraying on the color coat and clear coat.

 

thanks man, thats huge help, with the hole being there does it affect the performace of the intake?

 

No

 

i replicated your modification, and it fits great now, thanks for the help MIKEPA

 

Just an FYI, I think you may have gotten an icebox thats not for a 99-01 TL. It should fit with no modification..

 

hmm, oh well now, cuz i already put a hole in it

 

The first top I had;

1. Came with a hole in it.
2. Would not fit without enlarging the hole.

The second top did not have a hole in it and my guess is it was not for a '99.

 

there was no way this was fitting on unless the top of the box was modified which i did, or if the black cap on the backside of the headlight came off.
