Filter change and AIT sides installed
Finally had the time to change out my filters for the Injen CAI. Old one was waay too dirty. Feels good to know the car is breathing better.
Went through the wheel-well as you can see. Much easier than taking off the bumper I think.

I know people with the AIT kit that are just painted and slapped it on and it looked good without any noticeable defect. I wanted it to look as good as possible so the my shop block sanded it to get the the surface to be smooth, then fabricated custom brackets for the underside. Not exactly necessary but I wanted to get it perfect
The only part that is less than ideal is the top part where it meets the bottom of the door. The edge doesn't stay with the body very well, leaving some open space. My shop inserted some gromets in the OEM holes so when we screwed that part down, it alleviate some tension. But from the outside, it looks good. I like the black inner wall a lot too!
If anyone has any questions, please let me know. I will give you my honest opinion.

It would look awesome. I wanted to do the same thing too but I needed to spend my money elsewhere for a while, maybe later down the road.....

How much lower than OEM do the AIT sides sit?
#14
I measured both side skits (OEM and AIT) when they were off the car and they are actually about the same. AIT appears to be lower because it protrudes outward and has a sharp angle/blocky at the bottom. OEM ones curves inward so there's no outside corner. But I believe the actual height and the lowest points on OEM and AIT are about the same. I'd be more worried about scraping the front (splitter or lip) than the sides.
