Wow, a POLISHED C&L CAI!!! That's the first one I've seen that way. Did you have it chomed somewhere or where you able to buy it like that? I wanted a polished one when I bought mine, but couldn't find it that way. I thought it was a Granitelli at first. Let me know where you bought it. Nice Midwest intake cover too. Did you know that they are coming out with fuel rail covers soon that you can have painted to match the intake cover? The have an email notification sign up and they will let you know when they come out. It will cover up all that nasty wiring by the fuel rails. Check them out at: http://www.midwestautogear.com/

It's NOT polished. I purchased it though Brrenspeed and then when i recieved it I sent it to the Chrome Shop and had them chrome it.
I have seen thye Midwest Fuel Rail covers but they cover up to much in my opinion especially since i have Black Powder coated Cam Covers. It would hide them as well.

I wish I had access to an affordable chrome shop in my area. That CIA is simply stunning.

About 200 Chroming is not cheap.

wait, doesnt metal hold heat better than plastic? So with a chrome intake pipe like that, you're getting hotter air than with a plastic one? It still looks really nice though, dont get me wrong. [8D]
