Yeah we could do that in return for hood weights.

We're getting fast with the bumper by now; more than half a dozen times...

I swear I could take it off while holding my breath at this point, so long as it's already jacked up. Well actually, plastic buttons would probably be the cause of me passing out while trying haha.

I was bored today so i ran my intake as a short ram it tucks right up against the vent and did not make contact with the hood it sounded great and sucked up the cold air from the vent than installed my injen hydro shield. I ran it on the freeway for a while than converted it back into a cai with the hydro shield.

I will upgrade my intake with the following parts as soon as i get some extra cash reason being i want to reduce the risk of hydrolocking better safe than sorry.

-Injen Technology Polished Aluminum Air Filter Heat Shield/Splash Guard
-AEM Air Intake Bypass Valve (Use w/3.0" Intake Tubing)

look close and you can see the injen logo thru the grill of my cf hood

oops lmao just imagine them in person i love them i dont blind other drivers though never been flashed and have had cops right in my headlight beam. My headlights are still at the stock level in otherwards i have not had to readjust the headlight or fog light beam. The white tc has 35w 8k hids both headlight and fog lights but mine are wayyyyy brighter and whiter.
