What car are the air boxes from? Did you go with them just for the looks or are there performance gains vs the factory ones?

This air box from any of M113K's,,

IMO; they're great for both, looking & performance indeed, cause they're against the direct heat from intake..

You also install a larger master brake cylinder for big brake kit?

This car is a keeper for you for many years ahead?
You're not going to sell it as you made it custom and the look very unique?

Yeah, i used M/C from "R129 SL600", it's way more better for brake upgrade,,

at this moment; i will keep it for sure, but who knows, future will tell.
