You see me, I CU2
Somebody removed your bumper as a prank and now you're playing it off as a teaser shot?
A highly complicated way of cleaning your radiator?
I have no idea?

while your bumper is off,
could you take pics of where you mounted the ballasts for your HID fogs? i just bought a set, and looking to install it this weekend if the weather clears up
thanks!

I left mine tucked inside the bumper no tape no nothing lol, I guess it's sliding around in there when I take them twisties at full speed, so far still works, I'll proly tape it down when the bumper comes off for the HT GRILLE

alright, so as promised, here are some updates:
injen intake
headlights, removed reflector, blacked out housing.
whats left:
i was told our stock bulb blinks white, so i got some chrome amber bulb
as you can tell, they are much more orange than stock
i know you guys gonna ask, why no switchbacks led? well...i didnt want too much attention to be honest, so i will stick with chrome bulb for now, MAYBE change to switchbacks later on if i feel like it.
PROBLEM!!!
need help on this guys...i swear the bulb matches the same voltage and stuff for stock bulbs...but when i signal, my mirror and rear turn signal hyper flash, and the fronts do not even flash, just stays on. any idea??

injen intake review:
i installed it as an SRI because it was raining when I installed it, I have yet to try out the CAI mode but I will probably leave it as SRI because I am too lazy to switch it over. Also, I am sure the differences between the two wont be significant.
When i first installed it, it actually feels like the car does not perform as well as stock. However, after a day or two, it seems like the car "learned" that it has received a new intake and finally stops "lagging" and it does pull a bit harder. I do notice some high end performance loss, but not too much. IF you are worried about heat soak, dont be. if you park the car under the sun and it gets hot, you might feel heat soak when you first start the car. But once you start driving, it will just go back to feeling normal (which seems kinda similar as stock intake, which would also experience "heat soak" )
the sound, is loud. I was actually scared that it might be too loud for me at first. Under 3000k rpm, its completely quiet like stock. Its loud when you floor it all the way, then it will sound like the engine is going to explode. Otherwise, it gives a pretty sweet sound (but again, some will say its too loud. I think I've gotten used to it, but I wouldn't mind it being a bit quieter. )
now, would i recommend getting one? well..depends. Don't expect too much gain, I only got it because 1. it was on sale, and 2. it was a gift from my gf lol
that's only the review for the SRI mode, so if someone with injen CAI can chime in that would be great for the community and people who has the question between SRI vs CAI

Good stuff! Looking to clear out my headlights in a month or two...oh don't forget to take pics of where you put the ballasts for your fogs if you take off your bumper again. 
Probably gonna get HID fogs myself...just need an idea of where to put them.
