That little hose is just a vacuum line. From what I've seen, people just let it chill there. It doesn't do any harm.

ya thats wat i did.. because i seen tmac's car nd he explained it 2me
but the problem i had was after a day of using the intake
the car started idling really low, and felt liek it was losing power. it also took long to start
usually i start my car quickly, with intake it started taking a couple seconds longer to start
and thats when i decided to switch back to normal airfilter

Painting the wiper arms makes a bigger difference than I would have thought. They look good, and I agree about the steering wheel. I've never liked aftermarket steering wheels before.

OK! So...
i was thinking of making a HUGE change to my car. instead of chrome altezza lights & silver rims
i was thinking of selling'em both and getting black rims with a red outline and getting black alteza lights
basically switching and going red & black with everything on my car

im not sure if it'll look better than it looks right now so im asking your opinions
do you guys think black & red is a good idea? or should i continue what im currently doing?

I think silver looks fun, and black looks serious. I think red/ black would be better.
Silver is like you're trying to look cool, and black is like you know you are, and don't care.

... Like Mooneggs :)
