Under Hood Mods (PICS)

Looks good. That's the STB I'll be getting. Everyone should have that plenum cover. Even stock, my engine bay got more looks than the '05, even though the '05 had CAI and such. After hearing horror stories about the Scott Drake items, I'm took them off of my order from partscheap. SilverHorse Racing is going to be making underhood items this coming year.
 
Looks good. I ordered the whole Scott Drake kit from partscheap forever ago and never received. They debited my card, but then reversed it. They said something was on backorder and they'd get it in next week, and they never shipped.

I just ordered something from them, I hope I wont have trouble with my order. :)

On another note my wife works for a bank and recommends ppl not use your debit card for online purchases due to the fact that they can wipe out your account in a blink of an eye and fraud reasons. We have a seperate credit card for such stuff. You should here some of the horror stories she tells me about.
 
Here's a little detail I thought would be nice. I bought these thumb nuts from McMaster Carr for a couple of bucks each:

They screw on the studs the intake condum slides onto and look like this when installed:

At the local powder coater it would cost more than the cost of the STB to have it coated! I thought I'd just paint it Vista Blue if I get tired of my current red, white and blue theme :) .

Highway robbery that coater.. I got mine, the cam covers, puke tank, and all my intercooler tubing done for 225.00. Paint will work but you'll like the durability of the powder..
