Looks awesome man!!! I wish the 5th gens had the metal intake manifold like the 4th gens, damn plastic (or whatever it is), something you can't polish. Are you going to polish the side of the engine (actually the front), where the pullies are?? How did you do it? Wetgrit sandpaper???

I had this guy do it for me. He was going to do the side, but he said he would of had to take everything out. He said it was one big pieces that goes down and under. So it wasn't really worth it I guess. But I did want to get it done.

It ran me about $200. It took him about 2 days to do it, and he takes everything off and puts it all back for you. He says the intake manifold is the hardest thing to do, and he said it took a day just to sand it down.

Man, a silver CAI would complement the engine bay nicely!

I called him today Kenny.. he said he would check local junkyards for the manifold and valve for me, but if not I would have to find someone who would be willing to basically do a trade with me.. I have to find a really nice person is what it comes down too.. we'll see.
