Because it looks different, heres mine from 2 years ago before I riped her apart, it was a ram air setup into the TPI. I still have the ducting and the custom intake box with KnN filter to make it work if you intrested in it I used a harwood bolt on 6in aero scoop and ill tell ya it turned ALOT of heads plus I had it on and set up in a day. I drove around with this setup on the street for 2 years it was one of the first things I did when I got the car and never got a ticked for it. I was pulled over and ticked for the tint though.
oh also dont worry that bra was only on the car for the ride to the show driving up the highway can be nasty on a bumper

That looks great...with that tire and rim combo....its a good look. I was envisioning a stock 3rd gen (stock 16" rims/tires) with a dead seal scoop on it

thanks for the complement, The tires if I remember there are 225/50/R15s on the fronts with a 15 X 6 rim and the rears are 295/50/R15s on 15 X 8 inch rims the wheels are the draglite XP series I dont remember the off sets but Ill check them tommorow. One note though the front has intrax drop springs on it and the rear has stock springs with air bags in them, I wanted to give it the raked look. The fender gaps looked great with those springs even on the front and back

Thanks Bigmaciroc, the scoop is a harwood bolt on 7 in aero scoop not 6 in as I said before PN. at summit racing HRD-4163 but you can get it many other places. I do have under the hood picks Ill get tonight im at work right now. as far as the setup 50 bucks + shipping you can have the whole thing with the KnN filter, custom Intake box, and ducting.

Finally got the pics it needs to be cleaned up I just pulled it out and took pics but this is how I had it set up. When I had the paxton on it, I directed the flex hose into the MAS and then into the Intake of the supercharger. You get rid of the 2 Rubber elbows and the reducer when you use a supercharger Note that the paxton sat on the drivers side
