I have seen this on another site (its a foucs but I love the look of the engine.
It looks great to me. I would love to do something like that color to my engine. However my car is silver? Do you think it would stand out a bit or would you do a different color?

I wouldn't "grab & pull" unless you want to wreck several things on your engine.
From the Manual:
How to Inspect the Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
To inspect the air cleaner/filter remove the filter from the vehicle and lightly shake the filter to release loose dust and dirt. If the filter remains caked with dirt, a new filter is required.
Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may choose to have this done at the dealership service department.
To inspect or replace the filter, do the following:
1. Disconnect the MAF sensor, PCV hose, and both ducts. (Ooops! Whats' that?)
2. Pull the entire system from the top of the engine.
3. Flip the system over and place it on a soft, non-abrasive surface.
4. Remove the screws that hod the housing and cover together and lift off the housing.
5. Inspect or replace the engine air cleaner/filter.
6. Reverse the steps to reinstall the system. Be sure to reinstall the housing tightly.
Looks like you missed "Step 1" there snksknr94...

I figured step one was obvious just from looking at the thing. You can plainly see the 2 clamps and the MAF connector, guess I'll dumb it down next time. Oh and grab and pull works, I did it earlier today, the duct work is still connected but the whole cover comes loose, hence the grab and pull. You made it sound like you had to unbolt the cover, there are no bolts holding it in place.

Try this as well. Pull the EPS fuse and check both terminals with a test lamp at the block, with the fuse removed. Do you have power on one side and not the other? If so the block itself is not the problem.
