The hair filter is very effective. Never needs to be oiled, though I hear some people powder them.

My shroud was taken out and painted the color of my car so it looks different than the OEM black.
Here is original picture of what I used to have.

Thanks Laurie!

That's cool. I already have a vortex rammer system. Maybe I'll find a used air bridge somewhere and put that on.

Thanks. I was wondering if it was cosmetic only. I thinking of painting my lower radiator section as well.
