That is what I'm always scared of. you can always add one of those shield things. But I doubt thats much help. well, I was also thinking to adding a Y-section towards the end of the intake, to install two cones instead of one, Maybe I'll do that. But that defeats the whole purpose of my renntech airbox lolll

I'm actually going to be asking Anthony@TVT_Design for help with the Intake Modification once he gets everything of his done!

Also, did you do it yourself? Was it pretty easy on the curves?

Nick!
No matter what we do, even if we put diamonds on the car, we wont win anything! lol theres those ballers with the CLS/SLs, etc that win!
Jon,
The vinyl is from metrosellers, but only the roof is vinyl, the engine cover is real CF that I had bought a while ago.

its really not flexible at all. its hard to play around with, and once it wrinkles, it stays wrinkled.

2004 C320 Coupe, 6 spd manual.
Noob here,
Advans, beautiful lookin' car, under the hood also! All the adds/modifications are tastefully done
I am a soon to be owner, in about 4 days, of a c320 coupe - manual. My avatar is the front of what I will be buying soon. Everything on my car is stock, for now The previous owner painted the front grille black, that is the only thing modified. What is the single best/favorite modification you have made under the hood of your coupe and how much did it cost? Any tips or suggestions are appreciated! Any other questions will be on another thread, I do not wish to derail your epic thread here.
