phantomchick3 is an unknown quantity at this point
lordtygr...i just got a CAI for my 3 and i love it, be wicked careful around puddles and it should be okay,

also....we have the same color car any suggestions for how to get scratches covered up easily?? the colored wax stick doesn't work because it's not really a blue and it's not really a green color.

so far, i've been very lucky not to have any scratches, only a very small ding. lol, got that ding less than 24 hours after i took delivery. fortunately nothing since. anyway, the only thing i can think of is the touch up paint, but i'm so paranoid about using it and making it look worse. i've never tried filling a scratch before, but i have seen the after effects of freinds attempts and they look horrible. i would suggest starting a new thread to ask this question so some of these other folks that might have more experience with it can answer.

I run a AEM CAI with AEM's bypass valve to prevent water ingestion. The system works all right, but the computer gets really pissed-off when the valve opens, so i'm switching to an Injen RD intake w/hydroshield. The design of intake makes more sense.

I'm Sorry, But I don't understand by the computer gets really pissed-off when the valve opens? How does the car act??? Does it start chocking???
