Mine has blue lettering. Look in the gallery. Paint the entire mani cover in whatever color you want, let dry thoroughly and sand off the top. Voila, new recessed color scheme and nice detail.

Looks cool, not sure if it's worth $35 or whatever, though.

Wow, you need to either dirty that large intake pipe or clean your engine?

Intake looks impressive!

Is that an FIPK on the front of it? So the pipe itself isn't very long then..... And what are you using for the bend going to the MAF, just the stock rubber hose?

Yeah that's the FIPK with the stock elbow connecting to the MAF. 3" diameter and 8"s long.

I love the golf club hood prop. Is that what it is or does it just look like a golf club?

lol i noticed that one too. why buy a fancy hoop prop when golf clubs work just as well................and some are even c/f! JDM YO! any who, so what you did was just a cone filter and what looks to be a 3in. pipe? what is it suppost to do? smooth out the air flow alittle? i just cant see the addition of a 3 in. pipe doing anything.........but then, i dont have a turbo

Theres a silencer box where the red piping is now, and where the FIPK is was where the filter box used to reside. Both are pretty restrictive for inlet to a turbo spooling pretty much double factory boost...... I've heard stories of unmodified turbo inlet pipes collapsing due to the increased airflow and massive restrictions. Trust me, it's much better this way.....
