Intake & tuner installed!
Just put my C&L Racer on aswell as the Brenspeed 87 tune, can't wait to put the pedal to the metal here shortly.
I didn't install the heat shield with the intake. As stupid as it sounds, I could not get it to line up with anything. The single bolt hole was about 1" from lining up, the other side hit all the ABS lines, and the only way I could make anything line up is if I cocked it at like a 30-35degree angle, which I don't really understand.
Either way, I think it looks cheap anyways, especially compared to the FRPP intake's shield. I expect it won't really matter with the underhood temps, correct? I don't do much city driving, and next mod is coated Kook's LT.

I'll go snap a picture. Car looks stock because so far all I have is the intake/tune, BMR rear LCA's, SM aluminum DS, and Saleen pullies sitting around ready for install.
Edit: The rear and rear side windows are tinted aswell. Going to do 15% all around and 50% windshield later on in the year.

The first time I installed it I mistakenly placed it in front of the ABS block lines, and it didn't fit well.

Looks great , you should check out SliverHorse Racing for the lower grille inserts they fill up that hole in your lower grille and makes it look a whole lot better, just a suggestion
