Looks sick! Only problem is it might get really dirty fast.
Quick question... are you having problems with the cyba scoops after installing them; on mine the screw would always detach and the scoops would get loose on 1 side.

Thanks! Yeah that was my worry about it getting dirty I figured I would just take off the grills once in a while to clean them. Haven't seen any other cars with the white scoops decided to be different.

I just installed them today so haven't experienced anything yet but they screwed in pretty tight don't think it will come lose. But time will tell.

Just wondering, the scoop is very logic in scooping more air but will it also scoop a lot of water if its raining hard and i'm driving on the highway?

Kinda worried that some water will get to the filters.

Let me know.

The open slits at the top channels rain away from factory intake. So if it is raining you don't have to worry about it.

air scoops are useless. its already been stated here. the only thing they do is collect more dirt.
