Just paint the hood scoop, for now, save you the cost of a new hood, put the money towards wheels and tires. At least it will make your LX look somewhat unique. BTW, the CAI is from Moroso, hardly ghetto. They fab up a nice black block off plate for the stock airbox hole in the fender, and you get the plain black elbow. The kit is very inexpensive and it probably flows just as well as another that comes with a brilliant chrome pipe.
