    No, I didn't want to butcher the paneling or risk driving through large standing water and have it shower up into the intake. I'm sure some of the more experienced guys at modding here have done a really good job at this, I just didn't trust myself enough to do it.

    Thank god someone found a better way of doing this. I was just going to drill out each hole. Pretty basic but it would have been time consuming to make it look good. I guess if I would have taken the initiative to remove the grill, I could have seen there was an easier way to do this. Going home after work to get this done. Good Job Peter. Saves me time and a headache.

    sure, you can do that, but it woud mean less air(not a lot less though) and it wouldn't look nearly as good..

    nope, this is the easyest way. only other way is to remove the cover itself and do the samething from the back side.
