lol @ aluminium 'things'

I just painted my upper radiator supports black and they look fine

some people (bluesbrekr) polishes his but that takes more time and effort to keep it looking good.

. . personally i dont think the grill cover would add any HP i would think the vented slots would be good for weight reduction, . . .






on a serious note,.. j/k sooner it looks good,.. and those rad. holders eh waste of money IMO

I think hacking up your engine cover would be more a of a waste of time and money I'd rather spend money on the tie downs. they look clean and well made

I don't remember those nifty radiator holders last year when vasily dynoed with us

then again, he is big into the aluminum fabrication stuff...so it makes sense. I knew that MAF location looked familiar.....
