This is only the second time I have used Slick sand. So far I love it.

Thanks. The frame color is a 2008 honda color. I posted the paintcode somewhere in my build thread.

I think a better option would be one of the NASCAR 'used parts' places. You should be able to pick up a used NASCAR style air cleaner shroud & adapt it to your firewall (NASCAR cars get their cool air from the firewall/base of the windshield). They're made from both aluminum & carbon fiber & usually go for less than $150.
Thanks for the info. I will contact the old ARCA race team I used to work on to see if they have any old ones laying around.

This should be entertaining to ya'll. Let me know if you find it informational. I'm a little camera shy.
