Where can one get that chrome piece between the filter and radiator(I think it's called the radiator support but I'm not sure haha)?

That's gorgeous, nice mods. How does that effect HP (IE.. air intake) since the sealed box is deleted. When air comes into the hood does the chrome plate seal against the underside? If not, the design might be improved by making it that way.

Looks awesome ...I'm thinking of switching to the FIPK setup with polished shroud, your setup may have sealed the deal!

I have been wanting that same STB... Looks good but i didnt know they made a red FIPK that really sets off your engine bay.

its a torque wrench

And the tubes came black with the FIPK; I spray painted them SOM to match the car. The plastic around the filter frame was carbon fiber and I painted that SOM as well.

I may have to cut a piece out of the back of the polished shroud; it slight pushes the filter up higher than it should and hits the hood.

Otherwise

tomorrow is the thunder racing coil relocation kit install in preparation for polished valve covers coming soon.
