Default My new airlid *pics*

It looks so nice, I am a little worried about the smooth bellow I made, I'm afraid I may have cut it too short, whats the best way to find out how sealed up the intake is ?

I painted the lower airbox because the plastic was so nasty looking and discolored and just would not come clean. I like it better anyway. I'm going to put a Phoenix on the right side of the lower airbox anyway heres the pics!

That's pretty sweet looking...It'd be cool if you had a few more accents under the hood like that.

The smooth bellow is made out of a fernco 3" - 3" pipe coupler. I heated it up in boiling water to make it more flexible and cut it down a bit. As for the accents I plan on replacing all the wire loom with red wire loom and getting a red powdercoated BMR strut tower brace. The only place I have seen tinted ones for sale is in the for sale section here

lid looks good, but the red or orange needs more accents, it doesn't look right by itself
