Bellex's Gs3 Airbox Mod on a budget (originated from maxima.org)

Oh and btw those xenons are an aftermarket 8000k kit- cheapest ive seen for a xenon kit (using stock GS300 headlamps) It's not stock but its great for me!!

LOL. I guess I understood the "hood" in the wrong context. For some reason, I thought you meant you did something to the hood to funnel more air to the airbox. I was staring at the dark pics of the hood to see if you added some inlet.

Bellex, I don't get what the airbox mod does? Is it just to prevent stray dust particles from entering on the seams? Or do you run it without the cover on top? If thats the case wouldn't it suck in a lot of the hot air from the engine bay?
