I know it may not be everybody's thing but:



here's the outside:




A couple of pics with the pulley :






With Cover














sorry, I just had a hard time picking out of the like 30 pics which ones I wanted here! I do take most of this stuff off when driving, this is mainly for shows and meets.

Thanks guys !! ok .....

Specialized: I'm actually going to send you the higher rez and slightly bigger pics via email. I will send right now! BTW Specialized Stainless is really top notch! Their customer service is ridiculously spot on second to none! Their products are worth every cent. I cant stress how great they are! Thanks guys!

Insaneauto86 : The Frc's look white but they're not they are actually REAL aluminized carbon fiber so they're kinda silver. I got them from a guy who used to be a seller here and did carbon covers for intakes! I don't know what happened to him, he may still be here. But he was also on ebay. They look alot better in real life and the stainless metal CAMARO strip came from Specialized Stainless

Venom WS7 I'm thinkin about either one of those As far as the lid goes, I used to have a carbon fiber one, it never fit right. I love my Volant tho so its here to stay

FatDave The hood is after market, so its fiberglass. The stock struts are ment for steel hoods so they are strong, when closing my hood I could see that the middle of the hood was bending ALOT before closing. So I depressurized them with the holes and use pins to hold them up. The chains are so I don't lose the pins. I actually am going to change the chains out for the wire thats used on exterior hood pins

The ONLY thing I don't like are the fuel rail covers. They're nice, but I've just never been a fan of them, even on Corvettes.

Everything else is REALLY tasty.

Your sticker is peeling on the drivers side fender and emblem pros makes a set in stainless with your info etched on it. I like the aluminized frc but I think if you were to paint or powdercoat the fast a different color there would be a nicer contrast. Its because you have so much done under the hood it gets a little lost in the mix. Maybe a mirrored black would work. I know one of our sponsors here can powdercoat the plastic intakes I think it is powder pro but I can't remember his name sorry. Again you have a very nice car with a lot of attention to detail.

I know what you mean about the stock hood struts. I only had one on my Sunoco hood and even it was too strong. I picked up a couple from these guys. You can choose whatever poundage you like, I chose 35lb and they work great. They are the exact size of the stockers.

Thanks again guys,


Yeah I'm gonna get the intake done either in gloss black or near chrome. One of the two.
