I'm planning on molding on a z28 style cowl. I am not too fond of the squarish look but there's not much out there that gives you 4" of clearance and isn't the size of my entire hood or bigger. :lol:

The car will mainly be out on the street. I'm going to try to find some filters to fit them but if i can't, i'll fall back on the mesh.

You should see if that origin zenki cowl hood will clear that intake mani, because if so, that **** would be hot.

you ever thought of a mid 90's mustang scoop? they have a more subtle raise than the Z28's (if you find the right type) Good luck with the project and definatly keep us updated

*btw...im talking about somewhat similar to this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mustang- ... dZViewItem

Does that throttle body share the same bolt pattern as the q45? I've been looking at those but they won't answer me about the bolt pattern.

That **** is awesome. hahaha

Please tell me your going to make little fake corner light cover things out of aluminum, maybe have them anodized black, cut small holes in them and then run your wastegate dumps out each side where the corner lights would be and shoot like 2 foot nasty ass wastegate flames all over the place.

People would be all like 'woa whats up with his corner lights, he doesnt have any? or there black? What? Why do they holes in them? OH GOD OOOH MY FACE JUST MELTED OFF BECAUSE OF WASTEGATE FLAMES AHH!@$!$"

Oh yeah.
Please, do it, record it, and post the vid up.
