its not very easy on the eyes and its oddly shaped ......but it certainly looks functional......so kudos, and im sure if you wanted you could go back and "touch it up" later. more importantly.....how well does it work???.....how does it sound???

hehe I imagine it sounding like a bongo drum for some reason

It should work well, nice rounded structure looks to be easy on air flow. Certainly not going to win any beauty prizes but I bet it performs!

Dude, I swear that looks like my left nut, Louie.

Seriously though, maing you need to sand that thing out and spray it with some auto paint or some wrinkle paint or something. Looks like it's made of paper-mâché.

yea i didnt want to make it perfect and install it with no results. it helped throughout the the power band. Once vtec kicks in i really feel it. you cant hear it unless i punch on it which i like. when i do hit it its very deep with a nice tone. its different in a good way i guess.
