You will need to trim some of the plastic off the front to clear the radiator hose,
and cut a notch on the drivers side for the tube that runs to the evap purge solenoid,
otherwise it pops right on.

( you will also need some silver caliper paint for the manifold which will now be exposed )

Very clean and eye popping, you spend a lot of time to get that fantastic look, and it shows!

So, do the factory XF air tubes work with this cover, or do you have to go with the Needwings rear CAI type set-up? Thanks.
