Installed Perrin 3" big maf intake (scaled the maf with OFT of course), feels like there's more top end power. I am more so happy that it makes the wet FOOUF sound from the oil filter because it muffles the slight metallic noise from the headers @ ~ 2.5-4.5k rpm very well.

and

zeta performance intake tube. "Dildo purple" as my friend calls it, it was the cheapest ($40) colour so whatever . I am not a huge fan of the perrin one because I think the extra bend isn't beneficial, at that point I want the air to get into the throttle body with the least amount of distance traveled. It's also around $100 more..


You can see the nameless ceramic coated long tube headers peeking out as well. The stock intake tube resonator had to get removed otherwise it would have become a melted mess from touching it.

On the other hand, your roof treatment oozes class. -- Congratulations, it's gorgeous!

Now, if that panel could be fairly dark-tinted solid glass from edge to edge, look out for me falling over myself to get to the body shop.

That's great that you don't like it, but why do you need to bash what someone wants on their car? Your opinion oozes class.

Pretty sure he was saying he typically doesn't like the way wrapped roofs look, but thinks that the posters car looked nice..

I wasn't a huge fan of the wraps either, particularly after I saw a co worker with a faux-carbon fiber wrapped roof but a friend of mine owns a print shop that specializes in car vinyl and he offered to wrap it at cost. I figured for $60 it wouldn't be a huge loss if j didn't like it so I took the leap and I love it.
