i considered doing the carbon like speedaddict but i dont have go fast goodies under my hood so didnt seem right. imho
Well, I think it's just the whole concept of wood anything in the engine bay that doesn't look right. Maybe if you did a marble pattern that wasn't wood grain it would look good. CF would definitely have been better, regardless if you don't have any other performance mods.

What is that, an SRT intake? Doesn't look like a turbo or SC set up.
