looks good. are you just going to clear coat over the sticker or use it as a stencil? i'm guessing if you are painting over it you want it to show silver? looks good.

nm, you posted right when i was typing.

dude, you dont know how long it took me to actually take the sticker off because i liked that look. but i already had painted it silver under it so all that work would have gone to hell. but i guess i could have kept it and when i decided i would have just take it off.


oh and davke

yeah i can feel the difference, it sounds better and picks up a lot faster.

Looks Great. I need to get around to putting a CAI on my car one day but the filter on the TB works great also.
