i see what you mean about the fit. i don't like those gaps.

for that price, i'd get the UIM jet-hotted. that way you get some bling as well as something potentially useful.

i would pay $75 for it max but thik about it yes it takes alot of design work to make the mold and **** but seriously its not that big of a peice of fiberglass covered wuth a thin layer of carbon fiber to be worth 300 or 400 dollars. and i love c/f (dont hate)

Do a search on this. There was a big debate about how silly these were a few months back.

If you are talking about the debate from a year ago, it wasnt a debate about how silly they were. It was a debate about whether it would hurt or help the temperature of the UIM and the intake air. It didnt seem too silly of an idea since chuck made some good points.

Seemed really silly to me and still does. I don't recall any of the points being very good either. I realize they were repeated a lot but that didn't make them correct.

Ah, another "how much does it weigh/how many pieces does it have/what's it made of" price analyst trying to lowball yet another product. If it's so goddamned simple, then you'll have no trouble making one for yourself, will you.

Same here, and as far as I can recall, I don't know that Chuck has ever made a really good point that wasn't someone else's really good point first...

I've been reading a lot of FAQ's so I'm pretty up to speed on the Mazda Rx7 automobiles.

When I started the thread I don't remember asking who thought it was silly or not, I just wanted to gauge interest. I am sure I can find something on your car that I think is silly or not necessary.

Now back to the question at hand......anyone else interested?

Actually you probably couldn't : ). Everything's functional on my car, when it's running . In fact I even hide stuff you would probably consider "bling"

Sorry then, I assumed with a screen name like Rx7pimpin that "bling" would be fitting syntax. My boo boo.

Now. Back to the "other" question at hand. Looks to me as if you have "gauged" your interest. Has this been approved? Until it is, this will be locked. You will need to start a thread in the GB section once it is approved.
