    Lightbulb Clear airbox top cover

    Would'nt a transparent cover be nice for the air box,even the stock filters look good.

    Re: Clear airbox top cover

    Hi Harrison,

    my PPI filtert kit should be with me in the next week or so, i think the PPI airbox looks great and really shows off the red filters but its soooo expensive for what it is. Do you know of any cheaper alternatives on the market bearing in mind i already have the carbon cover, loved the video by the way, very professional.

    Thanks for the props on the video!! I havn't seen any other air boxes with windows.I may try to put windows in my box...But a totally clear box top would be even better (for Me). I can see it now...maybe Audi will do this soon ,cuz they should be one step ahead of us since they pay their designers well.It SHOULD be much less expensive than in carbon fibre !! You can really hear the air filters in the video because the microphone was inside the engine bay most of the video. Next time a microphone will be placed outside veh.between exhaust !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Re: Clear airbox top cover

    The only place i found that sells the carbon box with the windows online is OEMPL.us: http://oempl.us/index.php?main_page=...roducts_id=595

    Aside from the extremely high price, I'd rather not order from them. Any alternatives?

    My new filters look so cool I'm almost tempted to blow the money for that cover

    Yeah ,its a shame to hide such an awesome kit !! If I get my hands on another lid ,it should be easy to add the windows. But remember ,the box does pick up debris !!

    Yep, I thought about you posting that when I took off the cover and saw sand and small gravel

    Simple enough to clean. I'm ordering carbon for the engine bay now and will try to source the PPI airbox
