then the entire hood would be dull looking.
i know i would get some paint chips without a clearbra but to me, paint chips are better than having a dull looking hood.

:icon17: Great answer.

what? dull looking? last i looked at my car you can't even spot the clear bra until really really close to it...the paint isn't "dull looking" to me.

well, i only saw it on the black E55 and the area with the clearbra was really dull looking compared to the area without it and the lines were very visible to me.

i guess it isn't as effective on darker color cars as it is on lighter color cars.

It must have been either old or a bad one. I had it on my black sti and it was perfectly clear like Phelan said.

probably also because it was wet. it's been raining like crazy here for a week.

:iagree: That's what we're doing with our new Z, Invidia Gemini (single layer) CBE and ERZ HFC's!!!

test pipes are the cheapest mod for the most power.. 200 less than high flow cats

Nice! I'd like to hear that! Your gonna have to make a video so we can hear it :) I'm switching over from Nismo S-tune CBE/Still HFC...to Fast Intentions exhaust and hfc. Come on 6 weeks!

Great mod, but they'll not pass emissions or visual inspection, and most states got retarded penalties for that crap nowadays.

Well in NY if your Engine light is off, you're fine for inspection. 9 out of 10 times you car wont go up on the lift... There is also a ton of shops around so if you just be honest with them , you will find one to pass you. I guess it depends on how strict your state is though.

There are a drawbacks with the test pipes but should make a smidge more power than the hfc

Yeah, they're on their way via UPS now, ordered both CBE and HFC's from ERZ Performance! They should be installed late next week or early the next! I'll try to get a vid of before and after install for ya'll to check out!

Yea, definitly do that.I wanna hear it. I have a short short clip of mine on cardomain.com

...K&N air filter???
