Its an early C5 and that is where GM installed the Inlet Air Temp Sensor. The late model C5s moved it to inside the actual Throttle Body.

If you have a late model C5, you will have to PLUG that hole.

LOOKS NICE!

That is what I was after, with the body color I thought there was too much silver. My whole theme is black and silver so I thought it would look better and I love it !!!! Just wish I had a better camera, might try my phone next,has more pixels !!! All I have is time in the winter !!!!!

I'm kind of on the fence about the changes. I liked the black/silver theme you originally had, but with all the chrome under the hood the black goes well too. Either way, you've got a nice ride.
