Bubble, i love your roadster! it is one of my favorites!!!!

I will be getting my car back today, so i will take some pics of requests..

ncparamedic, I got the varis air duct because as you can see in the pic below, not only does it LOOK good.. it is very functional for my Vortech Air intake..

you can install the duct with one hand, its very easy.

took me like 30 minutes. most of that time was slicing the bumper up.

if you like stabbing stuff its very fun.

well, I'm glad you got it installed.. judging from you avatar and that statement, I'm kinda scared...

oh yeah, not to mention that chuckie FREAKED me out when i was little! i don't think i ever fully recovered from it... cause there is NO way in hell that I could have that doll near me. <shudder>

LOL!! you guys kill me. Well it looks as if im going to sell my new unused NA stuff to save for my "much anticipated" Turbonetics ST. I will keep the varis intake (good idea Cat) for the looks and also to pull air into the engine bay to keep it cooler. I swear I have bought more stuff, havent even seen it, and now want to sell it..lol..so watch out F/I and BBK..here I come...

Hey Cat do your headlights have any rainbowing to them at all? I have done two sets now and they always seem to get some kind of rainbow color in them.

Thanks

there is one tiny strip of rainbow at the corner. I guess that is normal once you bake the unit.
