as for the hood, did you mean to ask how i installed it? if so i had to friends with me, took off stock hood, placed the CF hood over the hood brackets, hand tightened the fist bolt on each side, closed the lid, made sure it was even going from the front all the way up the sides. then opened the hood, tighted down the first bolt, and then bolted on the second on. then your done. we did the alignment like three times to make sure it was on there straight. it tends to move when you open the hood after aligning it, but you can just push it over a little when you just have it resting on the latch and not locked in.

i mean they are an awesome price, and if i can get a OEM snorkel from somewhere, ill modify that to fit to my SRI. that plus that 3.8L GT Eclipse TB should be a nice upgrade of my RA's air intake

ˆ Nice find! I have the same CAI as you and after I got hydro-lock, I've been thought about taking my CAI to SRI for some time, but couldn't find a heat shield. I bought the bypass valve instead and haven't had any issues since. Wish I would've seen this link before I bought and installed the bypass valve. If you do get it, please post pics.

Yea the bypass valve is awesome. When I got hydrolock I drove through a puddle on my way to school (it was raining all day as well). When I left (or tried to) class later that day, my car would not start. Since the install, I've driven through bigger puddles and through more rain and such. I haven't had even a scare, and it was a really easy install. I literally do not even know how to change my oil, but I installed this without any help, and it has never given me any troubles.

update.
ok so yea, the piggy i got a while ago was the wrong one. guess there was some mis-communication with me and the seller, it was for an OZ
but i got a friend to buy it, and i got hooked up and im now getting a RRM (Hackish Modified!!) piggy for my RA, AND a Haltech Miniceptor for $200!!! yea both of them for the price of $200, what a freaking sweet deal.
I already installed my RRM timing box, took like 30 secs, the car responds a whole lot better then before. good ish.
the heat sheild and the oem snorkel im going to modify for my SRI is in the mail. ill post up some pics when im done.

2kracing's R TEC heat shield review:
i got the R TEC heat shield from 2kracing.com in today, it wasnt a bad piece, there was some corrosion on the inside part (the side that faces the filter when installed) but that is nothing a good scrub with a wire brush will take care of.
as for fitment, it wasnt bad, you can bend the shield the way you needed it to go to fit around your filter, to install it you just take the three tabs that are on it and place them under the metal cuff that holds your filter onto the SRI pipe. it will fit a range of filter sizes.(more info in link)also it covers the filter nicely, id say for a $5 heat shield ($15 with shipping) you cant beat it
here is a pic of it installed and the link

should help a bit with the heat soak from the engine. which is always a plus.
