I wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem and fixed it. I recently installed a KN intake on my AC, when the car is in drive but I am idle, say a traffic light the engine shudders. If anyone could lend some advice it would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Check your MAF sensor and if it's installed correctly or if it's dirty.

I think you can buy a spray cleaner specifically for mass air flow sensors and an auto parts store can recommend one.

I bought the cleaner and removed the Amf from the intake but I wasn't sure which part to spray down. By looking at it I want to go as far as saying I might have to replace it. If anyone has had any experience with an AC type AMF I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks

I got the overlays from bluebatmobile, he's a member on the forums and sells overlays for many cars. Just search his name or take a look in the exterior forums.

I got the fogs from eBay and if you just search altima coupe foglights there are tons of kits out there.

No problem, bat!! Your overlays are holding up strong and look great after a year.

I am having the same problem after installing my k&n typhoon .... it worked fine for a few days and then it started happening.... to be honest i think the dealer ship screwed around with it .... because it was fine until i took my car in for state inspection

Idle Relearn procedure - search for that and you will find your answer.
