I love it. All my underhood stuff is from Josh at RPI. If I hadn't just sent off to have my plenum cover etched by nakidparts.com, I would have bought one of them:

I believe RPI was asked to post installed pics but I have checked that thread and have never seen them actually on the car.

Hopefully, someone has installed it and we can see it there.

No one has installed them yet because they have not shipped yet. Josh told me they should be ready the middle of this month. I have one on order and can't wait to add it to my bling.

Every day I keep hoping to read that Josh has them ready to ship. There were initial indications a first article might be back from the chrome shop and available for photos on Dec 30th, but that must not have happened. Maybe Josh wasn't satisfied with the look of first batch?

The latest word I've heard is "Not yet, we are a bit behind, but we should be shipping by the middle of the month."
