Really the sun strips are illegal where you are? Here in Canada (Ontario anyway) we can have the sun strip across the top of the windshield.

Thanks. Yeah I actually found doing the whole windshield to be less noticeable, I went to get inspection on the vehicle, and the officer didnt even notice the front window tint.

Plus it helps block out the sun hitting your face when driving, and no annoying sun visor blocking half your view of the road. :icon17:

Nah, it's not so much the sun strip as much as the tint level that's illegal. I used to have 20% on my sun strip and it came down lower than the legal limit. Never got hassled, but you never know right? :)

Cosworth's aren't oiled. Check the specs on 'em, they're legit filters. I had one on my Evo X and it out-performed OEM, HKS, and K&N - while providing superior filtration. $45 ea

So do you think there will be any issue with this on the 2012 with the oil cooler? I can't tell from the pics if it would interfere in anyway.

I've e-mailed ZSpeed, but thought I'd ask on here, too.

sfearl1 01-26-2012 08:03 AM

^^ i'm not sure, i haven't seen placement of the oil cooler yet.

takjak2 01-26-2012 11:24 AM

The 2012 oil cooler is in line with the oil filter, there should be no interference with the aluminum under shroud

I just heard form Z1. He didn't think there would be any issues except possibly if there would be enough room to get your hand up in there to get to the filter through the access door. He was also kind enough to let me know that if I got and and it didn't work, he would take it back. So I may get one & see...

Emblems look good SCORPION :tup:
