Default Got My Intake Back From the Chrome Shop...& a Few Other Things!

I usually wait until I get this stuff actually on the car to post pics but I am SOOOOOO pleased with this intake I had to show it off! The install of all this stuff starts this weekend!!! Everything is triple chrome plated...not polished!

Weiand Intake (and I could careless about heat soak issues!!!)






Front Spindels


Coil Brackets (I already have chrome VCs and a set of MSD coils to go on them!)


Katech Tensioner (already got a chrome pulley)


Factory Hurst Stick


Swaybar Brackets and Steering Box Brace


I also have a BMR Upper PHB and Relocation bracket that will be here tomorrow!

Thanks....S&H Chrome in TN did the plating for me and they do outstanding work! I couldnt be happier with it! The intake was not a polished intake to start with so they had to smooth the entire thing before plating it.

As for the stick I had one of the redline boots made and had it made shorter than stock so you can see about 1in of the stick. Just enough to look good and match the other chrome touches in the interior.

Every time I open a thread you post, my jaw seems to drop more than the last time.

It's to the point now that I brag about having a part on my car that you once owned
