Default Painted LS1 Intake

For some reason, some people think I have too much time on my hands....

I also painted the black POS bumper brace that looked like crap. Also did the belt tensioner. The last one is with the hidden LED's....

That looks nice especially with the leds. At first glance I thought the car was hot but quickly realized the intake is plastic. I hope you have an ls6 intake for that procharger and not just the ls1 intake.

No, it is a LS1 intake. I kept adding to the list of wants, and decided to call it enough on the stock motor. It should be good for close to the 11's. The LS6 is good for like 10-15hp.... I am going to start saving for the next motor and some other stuff (cowl hood, wheels), and then I will use a FAST intake and turn up the boost and aim for the 10's and beyond.....

The paint is single stage acrylic enamel.
