Is that an air filter sticking out of the hood?

Yep it sure is,
Taken Some flak for it (here). I (not knowin what I’m doing) didn’t have much choices with the engine that came with it, it had no air filter with it. I think it looks bad ass. It’ll be getting a new hood with my future SR20 swap. Until then.. it gets a lot of appreciative looks and positive comments rolling down the road. I love this car man!

The Iron Duke isn't a bad engine, you can do alot with 2.5 liters, and IIRC can bolt a T5 to it. Did they mess with the trans tunnel sheet metal?

And if those wheels get in the way, PM me.
