If I get that one, I would like to either leave it brushed aluminum finish, or do it in a dark charcoal.

Cool thread, I have always though of doing this on a stang I plan to keep for a long time when I get a lil extra cash after I get all the mods I really want on. Looks clean and probably runs cleaner. I hate the way the inside of my reservoir just gets slimy.

I have a cx ligtening one I got off ebay, 2 years and no issues I liked it cause it had a hose built into to check the fluid level. Cobrafrenzy from this forum has a canton and it cracked, sent it back and they sent him it back with beefier welds.

You could make me one too. just for a lot cheaper then $200 haha. But i have been thinking about doing this. I like the first kit that MMR sells because it will give you a lot more room, but the bottom picture looks a lot nicer. It will look more like a show car.

Same with the '6061' intake plenum. If I want one, I'll build one.

I'm planning on having this done sometime over the summer. It's part of the whole summer makeover being planned.
