Really the intake manifold would look a lot better if you just did a wire and hoes tuck......

 

Freudian slip!

 

Here is a picture of mine with the wire tuck, Im just waiting on my spark plug cover to come in.

 

It's look good. I do want to express some concern about you painting the reflector portion of the headlight. You considerably decreased the light output.

Otherwise, it looks sick.

Those pictures look awesome. Let me know if you want to get a photo shoot together with my blacked out IX. I think it would look pretty sweet.

And I have some spare radiator paint if you want to black out the intercooler.

 

reflector for what? i have HID's.. the side reflector for my turn signal isnt a big deal since the middle turn signal is there as well. and all the bulbs i use including DRL, turn signal, and fog are LED..they dont rely on the reflection so much for light emitting

denver..i know it needs a wire tuck..i talked to richard about doing that when he finds time. it definitely needs it

 

Do the 10's have Bi-xenon? It looks like you painted the high-beam reflector.

-Acree

 

No they are not bi-xenon. I don't think he understood that you were talking about the high beams.

 

youre wrong. they DO have bi-xenons..thats the DRL(daytime running light) that you're thinking of.

 

Nice, I stand corrected. I could have sworn I read somewhere that the X didnt have bi-xenon. In that case, I would have painted the reflector as well.

 

just a few pics of the transition of the engine bay.

big thanks to chemik for the wire tuck!

before powdercoating



stock intercooler piping


new uicp, moved the BOV tucked wires, hid boost solenoid

 

your car looks good bro! does the hks bov pipe work with other bov's or does it have a flange just for hks bov's?

 

i still am using the flange for the HKS bov..if you can find the flange for another bov, it'll fit perfect.
