I think decals look tacky if they are too large, have flames, have the mitsu sign in them, etc.

Like if you got a sponsorship and you got to put a company decal on your car, then it doesn't look bad at all. Actually its something to brag about.

I just think bigger the decal the worse it looks though.

Can't say I'm a fan. What's that metal circle on the bumper?

Uh huh....is it basically just a hole in the bumper with a shiny lining? I've never actually seen one of those in person, so I'm asking an honest question.

hmm.. well... i didnt want it to be shiney..n__n;
but i really didnt wanna take the time to color coordinate it
so i left it as is...
i have a aftermaket front bumper, and well my intake can be ran down to that hole...


Basically what i did was mickey moused a CAI w/o piping,
just crappy vaccum hose and that airdam...



besides i think if i colored the aluminium black wouldnt that make it hot? o_o;;
i dunno..
well... ill make a diamgram later on n__n; im too lazy to photoshop right now... u_u;

That looks alright, but you would never see it on my car. I'm not a fan of decals, but I will give credit where it is due. If you like it, then you should get it. If I saw it, I would say that it looks pretty decent, but I wouldn't say it looked gay.

Yeah I know a bypass valve works for a cold air intake, I just thought this was basically a hole in the bumper connected to a tube that goes straight to the MAF with maybe a bit of foam wedged in their for "filtering".
