Thanks for the compliments!!

Dave - I would have some cool Combination emblems if I got a logo from someone haha

And it is Hugger Orange, not SOM.

The Nuclear Pumpkin decal is temporary, I had a friend make it and I like the picture but not the layout with the square vinyl, it will be remade eventually

More vids and pics to come!!

Beautiful install. I really like the idea of painting the intake to match the car to give it a great custom look and leaving the fuel rail covers off.

Any vinyl will look crappy compared to the work you have done... Just get the same thing airbrushed onto the lid... then it would look sick !

Man, good work on the swap!!!!!!!

Thanks guys!!!

The intake is a FAST 90, I sanded the FAST and WILSON off and painted it myself.

I don't feel that paying someone $200+ to airbrush my lid is worth it to me, I'm not loaded I would love the look of it, maybe some day if I find someone that will do it cheap, then hell yeah it will get done.

I plan to get some SS 402 custom emblems made for the engine bay, they are thick plastic ones that look awesome!!! I'll be posting more pics real soon as I just cleaned the car and installed the new headlights....

Man if you can paint an intake that nice you could probably pick up airbrushing true flames pretty easily
