Worst thing is, 2 mins after I finished up, a local performance shop returned my call and said they could do it for $35. I feel like to drown myself in the bath now. At least it's done and hopefully it's worth the time spent.
Make sure you get the screws tightened down all the way. If not, it's possible that the air box is not 100% sealed/flush and therefore some hot air will/can enter, causing a certain decrease in performance.
