Just installed mine on my arrival home from work. Looks great and took 5 minutes! Can't wait to test it out. Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1377633845.783339.jpg

Ugh, the more engine bay pics I see, the more I hate that stock air inlet. If it would actually stay black, it wouldn't be such an eyesore. I wonder if tire shine would work on that...

This intakes stays black

So does this one and it's matte black so it matches everything else including the GS strut tower brace better

I heard it'll match the GS intake perfectly. Oops, I've already said too much.

So, after installing this and driving to work today, got to say.....It is awesome.
If i were to start all over, or even just to recommend to a new twin owner, make this your first purchase.

Amazing how much better the car feels, as someone else mentioned, steering feels tighter, less play, just solid.

Great purchase!

Just got mine today, haven't installed it just yet but I bet I'll have the same conclusion. Said practically the same thing about the MCB and convinced other people to get it as well. Can't wait for the air intake, really interested in how that'll turn out!
