Will do the black rather than the carbon fiber version. Major selling points, in order...

#1 and most important, ram air performance with very little chance of water being ingested, car would have to be submerged to near the throttle body
#2 appearance, I have seen the product, black matches well with stock parts
#3 no cutting, install is straight forward and easily reversible
#4 price
#5 easy access to filter after install for periodic cleaning
#6 recomended by 21st Cent MC, a tuner I have absoloute faith in

02$crew'Z_L@@se06, are you a Ragun Cajun grad like me?
