Rebadged, desnorked and CF scoops installed

I changed out the stock gold hood emblem with a silver one from Bumper Plugs, I like the silver much more on the black. I then desnorked and installed the carbon fiber intake and cooling scoops from Farbacher Loles. Thanks to KMan for the desnork article, very helpful. Total time 1 hour. Pics taken tonight not that good will post better ones tomorrow taken in the day light

the carbon intake/scoop from F. Loles, did the wire mesh screen came with it or you have to fabricate your own mesh?

I think the middle 2 fins will drive more air into the intake. Don't you agree?

No, I do not. My strong speculation is that those fins are for looks only. I don't think much for air is being force fed to the engine at all.

I kind of like those though, and would rather have a set that was painted (so they don't have to be made of expensive carbon fiber). Do they make that thing in plastic or something?
