Thoughts?

They look pretty sweet. Any chance they fit the C32?

So you wrapped the stainless steel tubes? Doesn't that take away from the look? I can't fit the cone filters in front of the radiator but the incoming air will be channeled to the cone filters with aluminum shields which will double as an engine heat shield.
