x3--depending on price.
I think it was sthen that actually did something like that but was made more for like a heatshield for his intake??? i think...anyway it was CF wrapped and had the celica badge popping out, looked reall nice. But this is looking really nice too. See if you can make the plating like a gunmetal grey but keep the celica badge platinum like that. That'll up my interest by 10pts.

what cleaning stuff are you using?
how did you clean up your altornator & ACIS penlum? sanding? (I found when I was cleaning it if I took "Toyota Twin Cam 16" badge, but you have to be careful) how come you have 2 dipsticks? where does it go to & what type of pipe are you using to get cold air? (why am I asking so many questions?) btw NICE, I want continue to clean my EB to that standard
