Awesome! That looks nice and clean. I love the chrome and blue combination. Plus, your plenum and runners are perfect! Does the bracket on your fan shroud hold your MAF? -Bob

Re: Engine Bay Update

Looks sweet!

Did you polish the plenum/runners yourself or did you have someone do it? Also, did you have them ported as well? And if you did it yourself, how did you do it?

Yea, did them myself using tips form this site (Polishing the TPI Plenum) posted by "theformula" on Mar 31 2006.
Overall very easy and the results are well worth the effort.
Do a search as there are many excellent articles on this subject.
