We can wrap what was ALREADY made in your car :) Just take the covers off and ship them too us... YOUR CARS PERFORMANCE and PROTECTION will not be affected by removal of plastic covers :)

Just saying.... If your afraid of the ugly battery being exposed then keep hood closed at a car show you may attend during 1-2 weeks ;)

We can definitely do red Kevlar, yellow, glossy finish or matte finish. :)

I would say something about you needing to get rid of those stock intakes, but I know you wanna go FI lol :rofl2: So I'll let it slide. :tup:


Those look sweet, thanks for another idea. :tiphat:

Ya I was gonna go with the GTM Stg.2 sc, but it wont fit with my LTH's. So Im gonna buy a Zo6, then go with a GTM stg.1 sc much later down the road.

No problem bro, im sure your wallet is gonna love my ideas, lol

LoL I'm in the same boat, I have the LTH's as well and would love the Stage 2 S/C and I'm not so easily swayed that they won't fit until I see some hard evidence. So I'm still holding onto my headers. When the moneys right, I'll get the S/C and if for some reason it actually doesn't fit, I've already got assurance from Tony they can fab up a new passenger side header that does fit.

Yeah, don't wanna derail thread. :tiphat:


My only worry with getting these done is I have the hood dampener mod from kellyefields (they work great) but I'm worried with having to tighten the front eye bolt down onto these, would it crack the resin of the front corner pieces...

CFE, would you be able to comment on the ability of the resin/cf to withstand having a bolt tightened down on it?

(Not ridiculously tight, but torqued to spec??)

post a pic of your engine bay so I can see how far it comes down

It's not the arm I'm worried about, it's the front pop rivet... you replace that with an eye bolt.

Just wondering how tight is 'too tight' to make that without cracking the CF/resin...

NewYorkJon34 08-26-2011 12:41 AM

That should be easy, since the hole is already there I dont think i'd be a problem to have that carbon'd or you could just have tony paint that area his gloss black instead of having it carbon'd. Either way that hole will still be the same as before.

XwChriswX 08-26-2011 12:43 AM

Yeah, I'm not too worried, I'm thinking maybe just leave that area in plastic and gloss black it, if you weren't magnifying glass examining it, you wouldn't even notice it wasn't CF'd. But thats just some of the specifics we'd work out when I could actually do this. One day... :rolleyes:

Its not something youre going to tighten that that tight so I dont think it would be a problem...I'd say just go slow when tightening, should be OK.

XwChriswX 08-26-2011 10:08 AM

Cool.
