just a little small update..
Sunday, May 10, 2009 9:16 PM
so i picked up a few things this weekend. i got my first real intake lol, an AEM CAI thats for an ecotec. some projectors .. still have plans for one piece sometime after summer. i got a real good deal for both of these from craigslist. I also picked up some gifts from a close friend of mine. 12" P1 RF punch sub in a single ported box. one RF Fr2002 amp for the sub and one RF P4004 to power the components and rear 6x9.

i had to make my own 90deg bend not the best but it will do until i get the HO manifold installed. also the headlights still need to be adjusted a bit. i need to raise it little more to meet with the hood better. i desided to switch back to the SS hood because the oem Cf hood wouldnt line up the passager side. for some reason i think the oem Cf hood warped somehow, nothing some hood pins wouldnt fix. but for now the SS will stay.

dont mind the corners lol.. both are chipped on the corner.



















and heres the cut off from the projector headlights. i had to drill out the mounting holes to get the fitment correct.

Haha, your window motors went too? Mine went a while ago... lol

Dude, I love the ecotec intake!! How hard was the install? Did it require and modifications, or basically a direct bolt-in?

And wheres the OEM cf hood? I never realized how big the hood scoop looked from inside...

and not gonna lie, even though the headlights work with your red/black theme, I'm not sure about them yet...

yea the ecotec was 90perc bolt on.. well i really didnt bolt anything down. i could use the mounting points but at this moment i desided not to. i will wait until i get the manifold put on. all i really did was cut the ld9s intake tube rite at the 90deg bend. i also moved the temp sensor to the left over elbow. and im also not 100% on the headlights either. its ok they weill do until i get my one piece headlights.

Not a fan of too many projectors for the cav, I did see a set on here tho, I forgot who he is but he deleted the leds and it looks much cleaner. Personally, I went with the ones like joeydabomb's. Nice looking on a red cav. You can see mine in my sig and his on the calendar.

car looks great! i actually prefer the ss hood to the oem on your car. the billet insert needs to be a diff color though IMO. (i'm guessing that hood bac on the car is temporary anyways)

1 piece headlights will make it look way better. The LED delete that was posted before by someone else make them look 1000000000 times better too. Just something to consider.

The intake and system look good, and as far as the hood I'm usually not a fan of the ss, but I kinda dig it on your car. Idk which hood looks better, just keep them both and randomly switch between the two I guess.
