HP,

Mine was slit horizontally, a 1" section added (well maybe it was a bit more than 1") and re-fiberglassed. A small "baseball cap" insert was made to reduce the rain intake - don't know if it really works; I've driven it for hours in torrential rain.

The aesthetics are not as good in my opinion, but it was a choice for adequate airflow. Otherwise I would have ended up strangling the engine with a small air filter.
