I guess that supercharger intake is just a clip on item...as it seems to disappear when the hood is up.

Hehe
I also tried to mix the old school tech. with the new tech. via addition of the blower. The blower is fully functional via attached to intake and flaps are controlled by the throttle body
but a bit further down:
Correction: Note that blower is a "hilborn" scoop and this scoop is fully functional as a "hood scoop". The flaps are attached via cable to the throttle body cable. During full throttle, the flaps are fully engaged. A flexible tubing is attached to the AEM intake which in turn is attached to the Aluminium base plate of the hilborn scoop. Also inside the scoop there is an air filter which came with the scoop. Because of the SS hood scoop already attached to my hood, I do have more room to play with. Also the base plate is attached to the hood with reinforcement bars. This has added more weight on the hood but I did notice a vacuum like effect when throttle is fully engaged. I don't really know why but it feel nice
Other than that, and the ridiculous looking snowplow on the front, it seems to be done pretty cleanly - would probably be pretty quick (for an NA car 4 cylinder)

this has to be what happens when two Vocational students make a bet and one loses.



you could always use the front of the car for a portable quarter pipe vert ramp.

Another example of when "because I can" shouldn't be reason enough to do something...

If he gets rid of that bumper and changes those rims and changes the color of the car then maybe it might look a little better.
