    You ever come over my house, I'm hiding all the bottle openers and can openers (gotta bust some balls here.... I used to do body and paint work).

    Good stuff tho. I am currently running a completely non-functional induction scoop. Looks only since my accident last year replaced my vented hood. Gonna go back to the stock insert as I think both induction and extraction are useless to us (unless we wanna start talking TRUE ram-air for the S/C ).

    what about some louvirs, to relieve exhaust heat?

    and what about changing the intake to a cold air style???

    LOL, just get twist off bottles and pop-top cans and no worries. I did sand the final down a bit, with the trim, it isn't too bad, but certainly not perfect.
    I wish a body shop wouldn't charge 200 dollars for a 1 hour job...then a pro could have done it. But for a first time event, I am ok with the results.
    As far as cold air intake, I don't know, I have been looking, it can't be worse than our existing intake, and the extra room would be nice. That factory airbox is huge.

    Wow, this was a blast from the past! That scoop is still there, never changed the tape. That is amazing, been through mud, snow, pressure washed, and so on. Now it is LineXed on forever!
