Thanks for the response, I actually did that last night and finally got a good fitment. Took the lower air box braket which helped a lot and also flipped the L bracket upside down, which I couldn't really do without removing the lower air box braket. It looks a lot better now and the intake filter sits down much lower. the only thing now is it is touching the radiator hose so I might need to pull it back up a little. I tend to over examine these things, I've messed with the thing out about every night for two weeks. Every morning my wife says so I heard you down in the garage last night again, messing with your toy again. The funny (strange or scary) part is everytime I touch the intake the car responds and sounds differently. When I had it installed and it was touching the top of the hood it was pretty loud. Now it is the quietest it's been since I got it. I hope I'm not killing my car. I realize how much I love driving it today, she had to go into Honda service they screwed up my trim.

funny story kind of...?
