VRUS CF Airbox Install "Pics"

Thought you guys might want to see some pics of the VRUS CF airbox installed.
For some reason the MB tech did not have to remove the Evosport phenolic spacers??

Anyway it looks awesome and we are waiting now on the CF engine cover and intake tubes.

Very nice look. Did your tech install it as the instructions or bolt on the bottoms first? Mine is really snug and I'm having a hard time getting it on. Maybe I need the spacers?

Jangy:

I will ask the MB tech tomorrow if he bolted the bottom first or if he proceeded as per Victor's instructions.

He did say the fitment was perfect with the phenolic spacers left in place which was a nice bonus as I was expecting to have to take them out.

Sorry, I dont like the orange parts - high gloss black or CF would finish it off perfectly.

The "orange" parts came with the Brabus K-8 kit. I am waiting on the rest of the CF pieces from Victor to finish things off.

James,

The engine bay is looking mighty nice!! Should be killer once the rest of the CF pieces come in... We are probably 2 weeks away now...

You know.. once you get rid of the red engine cover, you'll need a little colour... How about something like this in the middle of all the CF.....

Just spoke with the MB tech and he said it all bolted up as per victor's instructions. Maybe the spacers actually help the fitment rather then hurt ??
