I am not sure if polycarbonate is the material I would want to have everything constructed of. The intake manifold would be fine as a clear polymer, I think, as they're constructed of polymer to begin with. What kind of temperatures would an oil pan be exposed to? The exhaust would be very close to the oil pan. And the valve covers would be very close to exhaust heat as well. If this type of thing was done it would have to be made of a material that could take some heat exposure.
Ive seen these pictures, I dont know if this is the way it will be released...
I had the same experience at the Comp booth. Light on info regarding the new intakes...........

Nowww wer're onto something! I bet if we show an interest in this thing then they could consider releasing it that way to us, or at least giving us the option of having it that way. Bad *** find btw. Keep this thread alive!!! 
I suppose that since the hardest part to make has just been made, then valve covers, oil pan, and all the other clear crap that I spoke of earlier is easy.

That's crazy. Yeah I like the intake as well. I had no clue that it was actually factual... now all we need to do is convince them to make it. I'd get a fast just for that reason, lol. The valve covers, smooth bellows, spark plug wires, oil pan, and fuel/water hoses need to happen as well. It would make for a really cool theme. Clear coil packs would be cool too... but it would be way too expensive for an item that wouldnt show any practical gain.
