Post Pics of Painted or Polished Intakes.

WOW, that's pretty good and close to what I meant, but I would have also polished the back part too where the white sticker is if you can see it and left the center yellow as you have it. Nice shop!
 
They all look great. I'm not too crazy about polished tho, must be a pain to keep shiny. I just wanted to see pics anyways. Rio and RioSnake, that's really what I'm aiming for. My car is red and black with silver wheels so the silver intake won't look out of place. Once I get around to it, I'll be sure to pm you guys. Rio, don't be shy and tell us where you bought those VC, we won't tell anyone else.

I remember him posting that he bought it that way off eBay I think.

Good memory! Nacho, a guy from ebay, (really good fella) had done some custom work to both the upper and lower intake and then powdercoated it with a show chrome underfinish followed by a light candy red topcoat....really turned out well, although I sometimes wish I hadn't gone for a regular GT as opposed to a Cobra or better....

I know that, which is why I'm asking if you can run those VC's without the Fox TB conversion.

No dice....The elbow will make the IAC hit bigtime....A 1" spacer could make a difference though?? you'd have to try it I guess??? I run no EGR/SMOG either so you'd have to scope that out to....

I may just give it a shot. I'm gonna be dumping the EGR and smog on my car as well, sometime down the road.
