NICE! I just installed mine the other day, kind of a pain in the butt. I had to bend the mounting bracket for the Popcharger to get it to sit straight.

Hey, simstad
Nicely done, I like the the looks, looks great..
Is that the original plentum? is that chromed or did you polished it. and if you did, did you polished the inside for better air flow. I see you also have the s s screws and nuts where did you get those?
Thanks,

Just one more question, did you applied a clear coat over the polished surface?

No. I have the Flitz polishing ball for a cordless drill and the Flitz metal polish, which works great. Also, you can take the plenum off and touch up the polish with polishing compound and a polishing wheel if the Aluminum is real bad.

Or go onto eastwood.com to order a polishing kit and do the job yourself, save some $$$.
