I would want to return my car to stock if I got the PRCAI, and have no worries about rusting if I sold it to someone I knew.

Has anyone tried to fill in the 3inch hole in the fender?

Any suggestions on how to do it even if you havn't?

I searched but couldn't find anything.

 

Easy...a thick piece of sheet metal and an arc welder.

 

Yep, Warpspeed recomends the same thing at their site.

Here's what I found at Warpspeed

"Now that the opening is cut think about the future when you might sell the car, use the extra template to cut a piece of sheet metal about 1/4 to 3/8" larger than the opening. When you get ready to sell the car you can remove the CAI, paint the coverplate to match, place some silicone on the bottom of the coverplate and place it over the hole. It will never be noticed."

Do you think Silicone would work?

So they say to cut a piece of sheet metal a little larger than the hole and use silicone to attach it (like a patch or would I actually try to cut a 3inch disc and mold it flush to the sight)? I was thinking JB weld (I think thats what it's called, it's been a while since I have used it, it is two tubes of paste, once you mix them together it's like welding)

Thanks for the info.

 

I filled mine with air horns

 

JB Weld is the correct name for what you are thinking of. They do not suggest that you try and flush mount your disc. Just attach it like a patch. I think that this is the lazy way to do things, but who looks up under their fender anyways? So I'm sure that it would work.

 

yeah paint the rough edges black and use black duct tape

pretty shure that you can get away by simply tack welding a 3" disc and grind it smooth, a coat of body filler and paint the area body color.

 

All I did was get a thin sheet of aluminum from home depot. cut it into a circle to cover the hole and then just used silcone to seal the surroundings..

 

one of my friends mafs blew......and he had a cai... he just swapped it out with the stock air box and nissan serviced it with no questions asked - you think they were too dumb to notice????

 

 

Maybe they dont waste the time checking out every aspect of the car first?
