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

So I'll let it slide.

Those look sweet, thanks for another idea.

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.

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.
