I cut the 2 pieces of plastic out of the box, both air ports basically. Cut them out wide enough to fit close to perfect to the 2 holes, you'll have to use a dremel to cut and sand it to shape and then use superglue and a bonding agent by loctite, glue them all up and and covered it with cf vinyl to make it look purdy . I tried to pull it apart this thing isn't moving and like part of the pipe very strong!
Hope that helps, ill get more pics for you my friend

Got an oil change and swaybar endlinks put in. Finally the rattling is gone and everything is lubed up.

Changed out the old incandescent bulbs for LEDs from SuperBrightLEDs. Loving it! The dome/ map, doors and trunk. I'll maybe change the ones in the visors, too. I forgot those had lights in them... got reminded when the girl pulls it down to use the mirror...

I removed the cluster and realigned the fuel and temp gauge to read more accurately.

You need to remove the needles that are not reading correctly and reapply. Sometimes this has to be done several times to set correctly. I believe it has something to do with the calibration of the cluster and resetting the needles.
