Wood Grain InJen Intake







What do you guys think? I think its very unique and different. All three pictures represent the intake without high-heat automative clear coat.

Sure on the picture but the sounds of the intake are exactly the same as the steel and wrinkle black injen intakes. Just the outside is different.

Definitely crazy different. I would ask the question, why also? I understand to each his own but if that's your flavor, I would think you need to tie it in to some other mod or design and that thing just sticks out.

Thanks. Yeah, well coming from the VW/Audi scene, its hard to break the habit. I thought about doing white carbon or even just straight black carbon. Ended up with wood.

It looks awesome but in what world does any modern sports sedan have wood under the hood. It's a car not a boat. A+ for creativity and imagination though.
