Default Custom Intake Plaque Plus Other Stuff

I received one of Brent's (Nighthawk) intake plaques yesterday and it looks killer! Check out the pics.









I also put a couple decals on the air lid to make it look different. The Firebird decal is from Afterthoughts Auto (one of our sponsors) and the other is actually an overlay for the arrowhead emblem on a Grand Prix which I bought on ebay. Kids, don't try this at home...the Firebird decal is made to go over the license plate cover in the front of our cars, so naturally the decal is a bunch of separate pieces. It took a long time to get them spaced correctly on the lid and I'm still not sure whether I like it. Let me know what you guys think.

Ditto on the plaque. I got mine and it looks awesome!

I got one problem... I still have the EGR crap so I can't install it yet Oh well, it's just an excuse to get an LS6 intake on.

Hey .. on the plaque .. would that work on a 98 if I've removed the EGR and made the cap sit low down in that area of the intake?

You may want to PM Brent (Nighthawk) in case he doesn't see your post. He'll respond quickly.

Thanks guys!

UGOT8, the plate rests on the ribs on the opening of the manifold...



...so as long as nothing is higher than that, I don't see why it wouldn't fit. They fit pretty snugly into the space, so I don't see where it would be a problem.
