I used to go to Jenroe's, but didn't go much last year. I should be back up there once the weather gets nicer.

Hey Travis,

Haven't forgotten about ya bud. I've been thinking about the lower airbox and I would go with something you may not have thought about: straight up Silver. I think it would make a nice contrast with the red and bring out the silver accents on the airbox and FRCs. I think if you do red it's all going to blend together and the airbox will almost get "lost" if you know what I mean.

We could incorporate some other things on the flat surfaces of the box like maybe your build # or LE #, maybe a personal saying or something like that.

Shoot me an email and let me know what you think.

Bryan

Bryan,
That might be a good idea, to try something like Silver. Let me know if you can photoshop those pics i sent you in Silver. I'd like to see what it would look like.
