Thanks,

It looks great to me.
Not sure if "coupe of years" is a deliberate typo or not though. :D
I hear the coupe is a lot tougher than the Roadster so it could be a new time dimension. A coupe year is 2.3 calendar years...
Looks like a very nice, clean build. The side pipes in black (or white for that matter) always tend to look fantastic on the coupes. What colour are you painting the coupe in then end?

coupe vs couple.....a slip of the finger and and I reread it before I posted.....oh well.
Any car I have built or bought if not red then we weren't happy with it, so it will be red likely with black stripes but until the paint is on anything is possible.

Your car looks great. I can't wait to reach that stage. What air filter cover are you using? That looks like exactly what I'm looking for.

Tom,
I ordered it from either Summit or Jegs, it comes with flexible 4 inch tubes that fasten to the air clearer as a ram air set-up. It is made by Spectrum as a universal application. I don't know yet how it will be for hood clearance but I hope it works. I believe it normally sells for $199 but I found it on sale for $149.
Good luck with your build,
Bob

As always, that looks excellent, Bob. I'm sure it's a great feeling to get to that point.

Okay Riptide, break it to me gently...... :( Currently I have a one inch spacer under the air cleaner, would that be enough to help the fit?
