If you beg long enough, and can wait literally until the cows come home, KEWL will eventually get one for you.

Ya gotta talk nice them them though. I got mine in August...ordered it in April. Looks pretty good and is definitely "unique".

It's unfortunate that Design Specialties closed shop. They did nice work.

Default tryin to get kewl too...

I have been looking all over for this cover in chrome and so far Kewl is the only game in town, Can't find another source. I have called and left VM that i want one and have not got a call back yet, but I heard that they are now available again but a long lead time and it's almost as expensive as buying a new Holly polished holly intake....(except it's a heat sink, and it can be ported) but I just want the chrome plastic...if anyone else finds a source please let me know or has one they want to sell....I am going to keep trying at kewl hopfully i make progress and can get someting in the next 3 months

I am looking at the linginfelter and now BBK offers their SSI intake in Polished as well (AVL in 2007), Now it's back to which intake? I read the BBK has about a 15% better flow but the Linginfelter name...humnmnmnmnm......any thoughts????? Then which throttle body an 80MM??? Decisions decisions..if anyone has thoughts.....
BTW TKO performance has the best price I have seen for the Linginfelter intake.....Ask for eddie tell em Doug from pittsburgh sent ya!GREAT to deal with...I recommend him to all my corvette buddies
