Yes, only it is good for summer. They are Heat shields

The AFe was very hot and makes the air hot. With these Heat shields the air is more cooler.

Not blocking! fits perfectly. I will post more pictures soon.

I haven't drive the car yet. (it is late now and I am tired.. ) I will do tomorrow.

But I think an ECU REMAP is necessary to make the intake opens more widely. I guess.... Because I read in some forums... Dinan recommends the ecu remap if you install a second air intake. Please correct me if I am wrong.
