Oh yeah when I sent the cover out the box weight was 2 pounds, but it really wasn't because UPS had to deliver it in a 2 pound extra large box, and the box coming back from Fedex now says it weighs 15 pounds!! I am almost nervous to see what the hell is in the box...Damn chrome plating the cover has made it that much heavier!!!

$650!! Damn. Do you ever take your car to shows? Nice intake BTW. I don't like chrome on the outside but it looks good under the hood.

Damn, that looks impressive! Something different from the CF engine-bay boys!
Turned out much better than I thought it would and it matches your intake nicely as well. 2 thumbs up! |
