I have NO bling on my car. I decided to go bling under the hood and that intake would certainly do the trick. What is it and where might I find one.
Also, my compliments to you on some killer work. Have fun with that second stage!

Thanks!!! The intake is for a corvette and costs about $160 I ordered it and had to cut up to fit and also used a 22degree piece (also cut) to sweep down.Now there is no clearance problem and they sit right behind openings in hood.When I started I didn't know if it would work and was sweating bullets cutting up almost $200 worth of parts that might not work.Well not for everyone trying to go with a "custom" look with car and get people to think, damn thats alot of work and haven't seen that before!Lots of little things done that gets overlooked and starting list for next years mods!!!!

Thanks !!!Had to separate the 2 pc's then cut out and trenched the outer pc to accept plexiglass that you have to bend (took 4 tries to get right) then plastic weld in and fill .the center is now all clear so apply decal and paint.the other pc I put chrome vinyl on (to reflect)and leds and put back together with silicone to seal.was going to put red transparent tape on backside but when trail fitting this gives a hall effect when up close and liked better.Lots of time involved,Engine bay getting closer !!!!!!

Your car is SICK! That engine bay looks amazing, I wish I knew more about how to do that back panel. I read the deal, but no idea where to start. Maybe I'll get more into it one day. Again great car dude!

Thanks and some nice rides also!!! Haven't had to track yet but feels and sounds like she is pulling more air.(also breaking tires loose easier) Also working on "box" that attachs to hood to seal. Made cover for front latch area also and was going to paint black but think red makes it flo together.waiting on some more pics but heres couple.Tried to tie all together and wanted to set apart from "same" black stripes.Now I need some 15" weld rts wheels and some tires!!!!
