thank you, Jay

The bigger airbox (regardless of the vendor) and free-flow filters (K&N or ITG) are, indeed, somewhat noticeable,
seat-of-the-pants-meter-wise; however, they look good, too!

In Redwood City, I have my car worked on at:

Group Specialist
421 Hurlingame
Redwood City, CA 94063-3407
voice: (650) 367-9161
fax: (650) 367-9132

If you live/work in that area, I *HIGHLY* recommend them!

Scott,

Great info! I'm stopping by Thomas' shop tomorrow to talk to him about a project for 190Rev. He's only about 15 min away from me!

Regards,

Don

I stopped by Thomas' shop today and asked him to give you a call.

He has a bunch of different colors in carbon fiber. Here are a few samples of his products:

iPod Mount

Scott,
Talk to me about your "custom ipod" mount. I have been thinking about a good way to incorporate my iPod into my setup.

iPod mount

Eric:

my iPod mount, though still in progress, will use the center console ash-tray as a "bed," in which it will rest and fold out of sight while in use.

though not the most conducive to changing songs/albums, etc., while at thye wheel, it offers the most visual security.

the phone compartment may also be used (obviously) - but I would like to save that for a "sundries drawer."

i will post pictures when everything is 100% complete.
