Looks pretty good but hard to see how much material you removed (pic is a little blurry). Did you half shaft it, cut the screws flush and do the bump-stop?

you can take off alot more material...the front edge on mine comes to a point, defintiely do the half shaft mod too...otherwise not bad...also dont worry about polishing the intake it is a waste of time and costs hp...leave the sanding marks

Very "pretty", but you've left LOTS of material in there.

Shame they don't shine at the track. You feel the response but doesn't equate when they hand you the piece of paper at the end with your time.
