I am jealous! Where'd he[the person you acquired them from] pick up nameless covers?!

if your car has a bunch of red accents under the hood, leave it red. However, even if not, your intake is Red so I'd still say leave them red. If anything, just give them to me, for my whole car is red

very nice, haven't seen an alternator shine like that.....ever.

What kind of induction boot is that?? I like that alot better, than my K&N that you can only get to by removing the splash panel.

I am not shure on the brand of the CAI, but it will be for sale in the next couple of weeks if you are interested since i now have the ram-air induction.

pretty sure I am referring to the boot portion on the CAI only, don't need an entire Cold Air Induction System, just the plastic boot........but whatever its called, it's not K&N, bcuz I have that one and hate it. Drops the filter below the header panel and makes it a PITA to access.

PM me when you get ready to sell that thing! Thanks!
