Cold Air Intake...where Oh Where?

WHERE DO I GET A COLD AIR INTAKE KIT FOR MY MAXIMA. I HAVE A 1992 GXE SOHC. I CHECKED OUT MANY SITES. SOME LIKE WARPSPEEDPERFORMANCE DO NOT HAVE IT IN STOCK, OTHERS DONT MAKE IT. I FOUND ONE, BUT IT HAS A CRAPPY FOAM FILTER (NOT SUGGESTED FOR C.A.I.) IF YOU GUYS KNOW WHERE TO GET ONE, ID GLADLY APPRECIATE IT.

Are there any tests available concerning before and after dynos and track times for the cai? I am still not convinced that it would make a big difference over the stock system.

Where did you get your grille from? Or did you paint it yourself?

made it myself...hacked out the inside, sanded it down, painted it black and put in some black mesh.
it wasn't very hard or time consuming either.

Looks good I'll probably do it myself, would it be possible to get a close up pic? And where'd you get your mesh from?

i need to take a lot more pics but here's one that's a little better

i live in rice central (well besides cali)- toronto
so mesh and lots of other appearance mods can be bought anywhere in the city. for an example i can drive 5 minutes from my house and buy a skyline or silvia engine. newayzzzz it's a black powder coated mesh made by FOLIATEC .... i'm sure it wont be too hard to find. but it's a little pricey though considering it's mesh

there are tests, most sites that dyno test say that it gives the car 8-12 hp at the wheels. my opinion is they exaggerate, but even if its 5 horsies, thats gonna make a little difference for a little investment.
