Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 14y 5m 30d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 04/09/11 10:29 AM Share Posted 04/09/11 10:29 AM I'd just do a turbo side airbox if I hated it that much. Plus, ally would potentially heat soak more than plastic anyway so no advantages really. You can get mock carbon fibre coating and all sorts of stuff these days. I'd be looking at those types of options mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
