glad I choose the AEM dryflow filter. super easy to clean. Hopefully will have the box and engine cover all mocked up by this weekend then I can layout where to place the ducts.

definitely a busy guy. Between work, school, and trying to work on the car, I have no time to talk about Karo and his persistent need to take little boys into what he calls a "euphoric trance state" lol

Doing my coats of paint on the grill right now.

lol...

ok coats are on... think I shouldve done 2 instead of 3 coats to let it have a bit more bling but it looks pretty good. Its looks almost black from head one but when you look at it in different angles it has a cool black chrome look. overall pleased with the outcome, just waiting for base to dry a bit then clear coat it. I'll post pics in the light to see if I can show the contrast from the head on look and different angles.

Thanks guys. The box is actually going to be a closed box, I'm just figuring what latches I want to put on it so I can open it when I need to clean the filters. I might look for some cf weave and do cf boxes.

to each his own...

also learn to speak properly on this forum, you'll get bashed for typing like a 2nd grader.

I know this forum is for MB, you're just a noobie so i would say anything. This forum is meant to share info with other members and help each other out, not give negative feedback and bash on other members rides. Dont be like a former member here (Xhale), because the outcome will not be pleasant. Once you help other members on here then maybe you can actually say something.
