Send me an email vrus1@hotmail.com... I'll put you into the first run group for the airbox.. There is a spot available.
BTW, if you have the Renntech 80mm TB on your car, we may have to do some adjustment to the neck of my airbox depending on how much material they put on the end of the S/C inlet to allow the 80mm TB to bolt up... In otherwords, I cant guarantee a 100% plug & play fit because I dont have a Renntech TB car to test with. It should bolt right up but I cant be positive until I see it with my own eyes.. the only issue is how long the neck is in conjuction with the mouth of the TB you have.

Ok guys... I need to find an organized way of collecting car makes from you... I need to verify the part #'s for the air tubes but I have a nagging suspicion that the SL55 & E55/CLS55 use different tubes... I know the S55 is different.
Hopefully we can handle making the pieces universal enough to fit all the cars by simply changing the coupler length... I will do some homework on Monday.
Sorry to make you reply twice, but could you guys please post which car you have. Thanks!!

E55 (for sale if the right offer comes along)...too many others to list
Vic,
I'm in for both. Do you still have the airbox? I'm back in the saddle again, and ready to finish this car. I can paypal you.

First 10 airboxes are still on schedule to land here on Feb. 15th.. The remainder will be produced immediately following and will arrive shortly after. I dont have an exact arrival date YET.
I shipped my engine cover to the CF factory and they have already commenced with the mould. Dont have a production schedule yet.
For the Airtubes: we are working on the design and trying to figure out a way to make them universal enough to fit SL & E and other body styles. Each car has different intake tubes so its not as simple as just creating a new set.. We are trying to engineer them in a way that they will work in all the cars.
This is why I havent taken deposits yet because I want the final details before I take anyone's money. I'll get some info in the next day or two and then let you guys know where we stand.
WOST CASE scenario is that we cant make a universal set of intake tubes that will fit all cars. At that point I'll have to take a poll and see how many guys have each type of car. That's why I asked everyone to reply or email me with their car type.

Engine cover is being worked on so that is what I would like to take the deposits for ... My car is going in early this week so they can take some measurements for the CF airtubes. Once I iron out the final design of the tubes I will let you guys know (this way you know exactly what to expect from the final product) and then I will accept deposits for those.
To make it easier on me I've created a quick Paypal BUY NOW button for the deposit for the CF Engine cover. This will work on ALL 55K cars.. I dont know about the 55 N/A cars..
If you voted or wanted to purchase the engine cover, please click on the link below and go through the BUY NOW procedure:

if we want tubes and cover do we still put in deposit now? or is this just the cover groupe? also you never came up with a final price.
