Default Whatcha think...box or no box...

After reading a thread on CIA, just wondering, who has one? Who sports the stock box? Who just says F it and runs a open filter?

Just want to know out of curiosity, thought it would be a good time for a poll.

IMO, it looks ricey. Plus your sucking hot air under the hood. Ive heard of people having "fan wash" too.

I dont have a hole in the side of my fender for the stock air box, and i didnt really want to have to cut one out of it.

There should be a piece of plastic that plugs a hole right by where your stock airbox would go....
