I taped them before install, while sitting at my desk at work haha.
The two issues that I had with fitment...
The holes on either side of the center piece were too small for the plastic clips, and after I drilled them out to fit, one still ended up splitting when I installed them, so it needs a better long term solution.
The OEM panels have small pads on the bottom corners, and I had to drill out holes to attach them to the chinese ones.
When you go to change them, you will have to remove the cabin air filter box, so it might be a good time to change those out as well.
I was afraid that I would have to replace that whole portion of the front airbox, but it looks like it's only ~20$.
I also removed the whole airbox to check for leaks on the engine, and found that whoever had it apart last had not installed the clips right, so hot dirty air was getting sucked in behind the air filters....
