I have the air filter cut out on my hood. I can't say I love it because it looks like an afterthought to make something fit. I had Curt Scott from cobra country comment..."wow I have never seen that before". If and when I get a chance I would rework my hood to eliminate that cut out where a small part of my oval air filter is exposed through the hood. My son says " Dad no one is gonna say your car is a pos because of that one detail" which I believe. But if you have other options I would consider them. Just my 2 cents. Glad to hear your surgery went well. I will post a pic asap.
