Thanks for the response guys.

I would like to get the CF engine cover and the rest of the CF pieces, but a little tight on finances right now. Maybe later.

Here is the link to Lextasy:

www.Lextasy.com

You will find the products and info there. That is where I purchased them.
They have great prices and service. There was a little problem regarding service in the past from .net, but it seems as if they have straightened their act up.

I'm a satisfied customer!

Why do people with that intake never (or almost never) install the cover back on? Is it due to the breather filter? Cant you use a piece of hose and atach the filter to it further out (sorda like relocating it?

I'm guessing that that pipe and the drop-in filter is the best set-up before the SRT one?

Here is a picture of the intake and the breather with my engine cover on.
There is not any problems regarding the cover being there.

Default Radiator Shield for IS300

Guys:

What's the advantage using the radiator shield from PLP on the IS300?

My IS300 is all stock. I was wondering changing out the tube after the airfilter bypass valve and changing the brake lines. Any recommendation?

Radiator shields are to prevent the air from going arround the radiator ar speed. It basically forces the air into the radiator while driving. It's a good mod and I have it on my WRX from Zero Sports.

Any idea where I can get PLP stuff?
