    hmm... thats strange mine never touched...

    stick the grommets back on with the lid flipped.. squish the filter a bit if you have too and tighten the wingnuts back down. put the grommets on the flipped lid the way they would normally be on the non-flipped lid.

    personally IMO this "mod" has more risks than benifits.

    get a custom intake, or a k&N(w/flipped lid)

    what kind airfilter are you using? may be the filter is too tall. i never had a problem with it.
    try comparing the filter with someother brand names filters.

    NAPA filters run tall, try a Fram filter or bend the edges of the aircleaner lid..
