You closed off where the IC pipes angle down? I would rather have the air get in there, than block it out. looks ok with me dog, over to you paula.

I think it will make the wind "resist" the car comming into it, more than if it flowed thru it! I thought Mitshu had this thing in the wind tunnel. I also thought the open front was there for a reason, cooling, less drag. that is just my 2c

It's subtle. I like it. You don't need a fast n furious civic body kit on an evo.

However, if you ever go to a wider i/c, the block offs will be in the way for efficient airflow. Stock i/c, I see no loss of i/c performance. If you like it, that's what really matters. THanks for posting your mods. Good to see some creativity out there.

I like the molded lower lip but am with the rest of the crew on closing the sides of the IC opening.
