i think it looks great dude. are you going to wrap the headers? keep the engine bay heat lower and less suction of warm air from the intake..

Thank you,

I dont know about wrapping the headers. I was told by someone that it is not a good idea, and I cant remember why.


The lights look killer at night, have to get a pic.

Cant wait to install the rear bumper, tail lights, new rims and tires.

My business took a dive over the last week so I am going to have to wait on the suspension kit and paint job.

Ugg...

I've heard people saying it can retain moisture and it can lead to rust, but I've never had any issues idkkk lol

Looking good!

PS you may find that during warm weather and in traffic the motor will bog down some from the hot air getting sucked up into the intake. Might have to experiment with that intake setup. Good luck!

You might want to consider baking your headlights and paint the rest of the housing black. Thats what I am gonna do, I'll post pics when they are done.
