Re: truck intake cover idea
Are you gonna try to do a Camaro-style intake cover like the new ones have?

Re: truck intake cover idea
Well I guess it favors it but i don't like how square that one looks. ALso I want the coil covers lower and separate. It is actually based off a fabbed intake I saw in hotrods mag

Re: truck intake cover idea
I'm sorry guys I've been slacking. I have been doing body work on the bed, making a tilt forward hood etc and have not got around to body working this cover yet. My time just never goes far enough. Lol but I promise it will get finished.

Re: truck intake cover idea
ok guys, I was going to have to major body puddy this thing to get it it look like I wanted and I was surfing ebay and saw this. picked it up for 30$ shipped. I plan to leave the center gray and paint the sides cherry red like the valve covers. I have a round ss decal I will put over the bmw portion and I may add some 6.0 logos on the sides. don't know yet but here are some pics of what im working with!

Re: truck intake cover idea
How do you plan to hold it down? I think it will look cool once that Beemer emblem is covered up. This is what I came up with.

Re: truck intake cover idea
Take the SS back off and either sand the BMW emblem down are buy a cheap stick on white decal with nothing printed on it and then putt the SS back on to fill up the impression.
Sanding it down though would be the best I think.
