Default FAST modification done!

Thanks to Spinmonster for posting a great DIY thread on how to modify the FAST intake. Followed his procedure as close as possible and it turned out really well. Doesnt look quite as neat as Spin's, but not too bad I think. Cant wait to put it on!! Here are some pics:

Use a shorter bolt on the rear most part. That is going to be really close to touching the firewall.

Did you port it as well? Any pics?

I did do some porting. Wasnt sure exactly what to sand down but I pretty much went after all the flashing and a little wedge in each of the runners. No pics of the porting, but with my crappy dremel skills, I'll admit that pics of that arent something I'd want to show off, lol. I'll find that shorter bolt for that back part. Couldn't have done any of this without your info! So, when do you wanna come down here Guy? Can I tempt you with a juicy steak?
