Seth, nice work. You should google pics for smoothed/sanded truck intakes. They actually look pretty cool smoothed and painted. That's what I'm going to do to mine for now.

I thought about going that route but the thought of sitting there for hours sanding, plastic welding and filling holes made me go this route. I think I'll paint it and the coil covers the same color as the pickup, and I might put something on the intake cover to jazz it up a bit, not sure what though.

Von Dutch style pinstriping! Lot's of real estate for a nice pattern.

I had to google Von Dutch to see what it was. Every body has their own taste and most people like that type of striping, but I never really cared to much for it. I almost feel bad for not caring for it too much because it takes a lot of talent and time to do it. Thanks for the idea though !
