How do you guys like it? I made those for another vendor but now he disappeared so I decide to start selling those myself. It's a bolt -on. Fully enclosed unlike all the other aluminum air boxes out there. Gets cold air from the slot between the radiator and the chassis like the M2 and Pettit Racing cold air intake. Comes with 2 K&N filters. The ones you guys getting will have beads welded on the pipes so the filters will not fall off like the M2. I will make some special tinted Lexan covers so you can inspect the filters without taking off the covers. The price will be the following:
1-3 orders: $450
4-6 orders: $420
7-9 orders: $390
10+ orders: $370
optional black tinted cover: $30
The air boxes will be done 2 weeks after the group buy. The group buy deadline is 2-28-03.

Chuck, will this fit with the M2 (i.e. ASP Racing) Large Intercooler?
Also, will it fit the M2 hardpipes for the M2 box? (I bought the hardpipes to fit the m2 box but never got the m2 airbox cause I didn't want CF)

It shouldn't be that hard to get them polished... You put them into an industrial sized tumbler with tumbling media and after a few hours of tumbling around, they're polished.

I think one short fat filter would be better and easier to work with (similar to Knightsports). Both M2 and Tri-Point filters are known to fall off and are cheapy. HKS (in gold) and Blitz (in silver) make a stubby fat metal mesh filter. That will the lexan cover would be bad ***. :bigok:

I may be interested if we can get enough people. Is the finish on these reasonable clean (not too many scratches)? Are the welds touched up at all?

The finish is brushed aluminum. The welds are grinded down. You will see all of of those at the above link.

Yep, I do have the pipes for the M2 box.
My next concern, are they going to be polished up?
I'm definitely leaning towards one if they're polished.
