Hate to say your CAI is pulling hot air from the engine compartment, need to route it out the fender or draw from the fender. The cooler the air coming in the better MPG youll get. Just proven facts.

Yeah I know. This was the first mod i put on my car in 2006 and i didn't like the K&N box any more than the stock box. I like showing off the newly painted manifold cover. I've thought of making a plexiglass box with hose to the fender not just haven't done it yet. It really hasn't affected my mpg too much. At 18 years, I'm still getting around 25mpg. Not sure how much more I'd get enclosing it with hose to fender

First attempt at wrapping. Only wanted to do this to cover up a few ŕoad chips I've already earned in two months of new paint job. Didn't like. See pt 2.

Pt 2. Close up of the second attempt of wrapping. Looks much better tapered. Still have to redo because the magnets i used to help assist varied some wood discoloration where they were used. I'll be a pro before i get out done right.

Seat covers from RuffTuff. These things were well worth the money!! Getting back seats next when i have the $$$.

I like a white roof to help keep the cabin cool. In some cases silver looks better and it’s also effectIve. Thinking about a silver roof for my black SS for that reason.

This weekend I will be attempting to black carbon fiber wrap my mirrors and roof rack. Blacking out my tail lights and wrapping my dash consol. Will update.
