Ok this might sound a little stupid, but here it comes. When Iinstalled my Steeda intake there was a screw that was holding the original air box (from what I remember there's only 1, too). After removing the stock intake I put it under my bed and put the screw in the hole it originally came from. I guess my retarded step mom moved it when she was cleaning up because today I thought I'd check on my stuff and found the stock intake FORCED under the frame of the bed and stuck between that and the floor with the screw missing. The stock intake doesn't look damaged, but I was thinking if i take the car to the dealership with a different screw and they notice, they might start drama over it and I looked everywhere and couldn't find it.I feel funny going to the dealership asking them for some little crap like that. You think they'd even have it? Anyone might have a spare one for me?
P.S. Nothing pisses me off more than not being able to leave your own **** in your own apartment

 

Don't know the size of the screw, but you can go to the parts department and tell them what you want. If they don't have it, they will be able to tell you the size. I did that for the lca bolts.

 

yeah, i know the screw/bolt you're talking
about.....

i'd just go down to the hardware store and buy
a replacement

 

Doesn't that screw have a rubber grommet on it?????

 

owero01, you say you did that for your LCA bolts. My BMR tubular's came with instructions that say reuse the factory bolts - is this bad? Should I get new ones? If so, what size before I get the car up?

 

Check the vacuum cleaner

 

if the screw is iron or a steel that not high carbon get a neodymium magnet and use it to check the vacum bag

 

Yeah I checked the vacuum bag too, I even popped it open, that thing isn't there. The screw does not have a grommet, the grommet is attached to the air filter box, but it's black and the only ones I was able to find around here are silver color so if a dealership takes a quick peek at the air filter box they'll spot it right away. I'll try looking at other places I guess, but if I can't find it anywhere I'd have to get a rental and get the screw from there lol

 

i wouldnt worry too much about this...just say u wanted a better screw, say it rusted or was dirty and you're **** and wanted a new one -they cant do ****

 

I'll probably just find something that fits and do that then. Thanks guys
