Looks like you did the same thing i did with the air intake. went with the K&N first, and then went with the blackwing. First pic had the k&n sticker in it.
Looks great!

The battery cover came from Mid-America Part# 622786BK (the BK stands for black but can be bought in different colors) Also the emblem on the battery cover came from Mid-America part# 602002.
