You can also pick up a radiator plate from ebay and cut it yourself. The quality is pretty good. I haven't cut mine yet, but daveys2k has.

 

The Spoon intake + Spoon airfilter combo is perfect if you're truly running a N1 race that limits what you can modify but this isn't Japan. Otherwise it's much like a stock airbox design with better airflow, period. This isn't going to increase your heartbeat or make you feel a dramatic improvement but it most certainly does the job better than an OEM setup. Note though, you still carry excessive weight from the OEM airbox and the Spoon intake/filters are quite expensive. Or you can settle for knockoffs.

Here's a picture of the cf rad plate:



The weave is a little different.

 

I went with a used Comptech. Sometimes I agree that it looks a little silly, but who cares? I didn't buy this car for show that no one can see...

I am using an AFE filter which has (seems to have) better flow than the old foam filter that came with the intake (i am the third owner..). It sounds a little more 'raw' than stock, which I like, but it can drone a bit when cruising. They are both great intakes, but neither will give much of a gain. Look for the best deal pricewise if you can't make up your mind. Can't really go wrong.

 

howcome the apr radiator cover doesnt require the use of the weather stripping for the hood?

 

You can reuse the weather stripping, but the metal piece underneath is too thick with the plate. You might have to drop the hood from a little higher up.
