    haha I didn't mean to flame you of anything. It's just that it clashes with the nice polished parts you have on the engine.

    yeah lol it looks like you cheaped out and stuff. You should make a custom one out of stainless steel and polish it. It really isnt that hard

    He doesn't necessarily have to get one from the festering boil on the ass of the internet that is ebaymotors, he could retrofit something nice from another car. Or get just one curved piece that fits the way he needs to, give or take some trimming.

    I like the bay a lot and that valve cover is perfect, but the intake is crazy.

    I know ebay sucks, but thats about all I can afford so that's what I'll be getting when I get an intake. Perhaps this one:

    I'll get a cold air one later.
