Looks great. Especially the JoeZ. Now ya gotta fix those holes in the bumper! I feel really bad for those of you who have these due to dealers putting plates on or states that insist on front plates. Sorry man!

Looks awesome, haha. I like the engine cover and intake. The front grill doesnt really appeal to me, but if it makes you happy than great!

I'm with you on that one, especially on a light-colored car.

So, I think the Joe Z Intake is a great upgrade. Okay, enough...Here are the pictures!













Comments?! Good? Bad, ugly?
Paint within engine bay? I hear painted calipers will make you sporty too. Rice Burner...all the way. You might as well get a bumper sticker...Mahatma!
