This reminds me....I gotta finish mine too. Too bad mines not carbon.

Looks good. You should have made it bigger.
|
Yeah I wish I go the 4" one instead of the 3" but it doesn't look as bad in person, it will still flow enough air for the intake I think.
Cspence go work on it so we could all do that meet by apr/may. |
hey you didnt let the cutting tool go wild on your paint, nice job. I've done two and both times I've slipped once and it made me a sad panda.
I had to cut the 4" down and make it .5" shorter, it's still larger than your 3" but it was too long and hit the headlight when mounted. |
The paint is a little messed up and there's a little section that I cut a little too much, but a little touch up paint, some wet sanding and a new clear coat will make it look nice I hope.
|
Looks good, where did you pick it up?

Looks great! You did a smooth cutting job on that lid.

Whats the website to buy these ducts?
|
I think I would have put the lip of the duct on the outside to cover the curvy/not smooth cut. Otherwise it looks pretty good. Larger would be more win.

How did that PL adhesive do for you....I used it on mine last night and today when I was checking on it I noticed that it was basically lifting off my naca duct. After 18 hours of curing I was able peal it all off in one huge sheet. I'm not sure what the problem was...I mean I roughed everything up and cleaned it with acetone prior to application. Maybe its the type of plastic my duct is made out of. O well, I am redoin it right now with epoxy. Yours is comin along good though!
