Well I am having a little alignment issue with the shaker and the hood. RIght now it is off about 1/8 of an inch to the passenger side in the rear. So I am cutting down the bracket in the back so I can shift it to the drivers side some. This really put the brakes on things so I will didnt get as much done as I wanted but Ill see what I can get going tomarrow. I am getting frustrated tonight, and when I get frustated I end up over muscleing things and then I have broken parts. So I think it is better to just wait a night.

Sorry to hear the issues. Is it something you did or the kit it self? Seems like a lot of money and time if it's the kit being off. Is it just me or does the engine cover part look pretty cheaply made from the upclose pics I'm seeing?

The hole I cut is in the center is TOTALLY in the center of the hood, and the shaker lines up in the front. The back however is a little off. I really dont think anyone would notice, but I am VERY **** about that kind of stuff.


The engine cover is the weak link, but it still looks nice I think. The only part that looks a little cheap is the raw cut edges of the plastic. They are facing downward and are not very noticable but I might put some rubber trim around them to make it look a little cleaner. I havnt decided yet.

The Scoop itself is very nice quality.

Wow I will never have ***** enough to do that. But one thing why dont they just have the shaker go strait into the throttlebody and forget abou the cai. Have a filter under the scoop.

Good luck Riven, it's going to look great when you're done!

It doesn't flow enough air by itself. I read where one of the guys blocked off the air inlet on his stock intake box so that all of the air was coming from the shaker. He said it sounded really cool, but when he started getting on it the car threw a trouble code.

Well I dont think it would work mouting it strait to the top since these cars are not carberated. If it was mounted to the top and fed strait into the intake where would the throttle body go?

More pIcs. We are almost done. We just have the inner trim ring hood blanket and the tune to go. RIght now we are waiting on the upper trim ring to dry.
