Looks good. Now don't change anything else and take it to the track, I'll bet you will see some improvement from this mod alone.

lol I hope your joking. By posting a thread on your home made Chinese quality kit your subjecting yourself to criticism. If you can't handle it delete the thread and go back to sucking your Mom's left tit. Would you like a tissue?

You shouldn't have painted it... unless you used paint that adheres to galvanized metal. One hard rain storm and you'll have black paint chips plugging up your air filter.

Other than that... no harm, no foul.
