AEM Cold Air

Hey all,
Just bought and 02 TL and i'm looking to put in an AEM cold air, but i gotta few questions. First- My TL is NHB, and i'm wondering what color cold air intake would look the best. I'm debating between blue and silver. Also, being this my first Acura- is there anything else I should know about putting in an intake? Does it cause any problems, other things that should be replaced at the same time? Lastly, is it hard to self-install? I am used to working on cars, so i'm no newbie.

Thanks!

I would recommend silver or polished. Putting on a CAI is pretty straightforward. It shouldn't cause any problems and it can be a sole purchase.

If you need one PM me.
