Remove right headlight assembly. Snap the M5 duct in place. Route flex hose into duct.
Bolt the intake mount to the filter box. Fabricate rubber gasket (I used a scrap bike rubber interior).
Mark the hole with a marker.
Smooth the surface for good fit. I used a Dremel to grind the fins and cut the hole.
Again, smooth the hole by sanding with Dremel for good airflow. Do clean the filter box when done.
Spray painted both scoops for color match.
Done for now. I'll return the unused parts tomorrow and get another 6" duct.

I noticed that you wrapped the throttle/MAF tube. That is a good idea!
My first mod actually, in 2004.
I ordered same material for this mod.
Thermo-Tec Cold Air Tube Heat Shield
Keep induction air cool with this unique lace up tube cover. The design of the cover allows it to fit from 2-1/2'' to 4'' air tubes up to 36'' long.
The lace on heat shield blocks over 98% of the radiant heat from the turbo and exhaust. the kit comes complete with four different color laces,
blue, yellow, red and white.
