Okay so this is the engine now
The pettit intake is so damn ugly, cant wait till get my cf autoexe intake. Plans are polished feed elbow, polished uim, secondary intake pipe and tb, unsure on smic and unsure on radiator. CF battery cover and CF radiator cooling panel. Red vacuum lines,all new couplers and clamps. Since the paint is all dull i was thinking about sanding it down and polishing it, thought that would be pretty unique. Nice and simple, at 12psi and a streetport should be more than enough for a dd.

Hey Pure,
Are you gonna stick with the stock throttle body elbow or go with a greddy one? As far as a smic, I got the M2 medium which I like very much, but I'm not sure how the fitment would be with the Autoexe intake. I think some people have had good luck with ebay intercoolers using the Pettit Duct, but again depending on how much room the intake takes up.
I can't wait to see the engine bay when it's done. I'm about to start polishing some parts of my engine bay as well.
Edit: Doh!... Should have seen you said Feed elbow

Local buyer is a huge convenience for me, hope this works out.

Didn't know you were reverting back to stock lights...it never goes as planned. The new bumper is going to be sweet though. There was a delay in my plans so probably not til Feb for me

Got the front bumper on, like I said someone sold me broken headlight covers so I am hoping he will refund my money. I really think the feed lens is going to make the difference, as the 99spec lights look out of place.
