I didnt know this, but apparently you can purchase the Injen intake in either Polished or Black PowderCoat. I would like anyone/ everyones opinion on which i should get for the RS1. My theory is black, because most of the engine bay is either orange or black, and i like the look of stealth. Thanks guys and gals :wink:

Or you could get polished to have a contrasting color.....make it stand out. :wink:

i say go with the injen polished engine cover and black intake. that would nice

im for the black powder coat, but maybe you should find a nice grey and just paint your engine cover... hmmm I might do that now

i have the polished and honestly though id rather have black now it doesnt really matter. to look it at you kinda have to lean in. and i think the black might be less apt to get smudgy with fingerprints. so i voted black though ive yet to see a picture of one.

showpoa is right. the engine cover is honestly quite impressive ( much better in person than in pics) and as long as you can nail it for like 60 bucks its worth it.

whenever you do get the intake: Make certain you TAKE THE BATTERY OUT for the installation. this glaring error in the otherwise perfect installation guide cost me about 20 minutes because i thought i was in error.

okay my two cents is up.

by the way pigs on head rocks !!!

ahhh fanmail! thanks dirty! or are you just trying to stave of my ever rising post count?

both !
no j/k
but did you make that, thats tight I've been playing it for the past week !!!

oh no. i wish i had those type of skillz. its off homestarrunner.com they spunoff that super cheezy site for all the videogamage. and i love it all.

Thanks for the pointer on the battery. I dont think ill be getting the engine cover, as this is going to be a work vehicle. Maybe down the line, with some lower springs and a turbo, but for now its just wheels, intake, cargo mat, and tails.

Anyone have a pic of the Black Powder Coat, or have seen one? I was wondering if it has a flat or polished finish.

Go with the black intake and it'll look like you don't even have an intake. That's what I have and I love the stealth look.

The polished version won't show up much anyway.

I get pics for you when I can CB.

black will look more stock and probably cause less problems with cops. polished definately looks better though.

i have polished short ram and engine cover... no complaints here

You can barely see the intake but that extra polish look is pretty nice

here's the pics.....it's a little on the dusty side

I would have posted pics here but it seems that Imagestation hasn't been agreeing with Scionlife lately.
