That's exactly what I was thinking, including the air tube as well.

 

Interesting you guys mention that. After putting everything back on, I noticed the lack of red inside the engine compartment. The Volant airbox is definitely part of the plan now, just need to figure out how to segment it to get the proper blend of red and black in the mix!

 

Maybe a partial paint scheme I wouldn't overdue it!

 

Here's a quick idea that just came to mind so that I can keep the level of red at a conservative level with a good mix of black as well.

Have JNL Hydrographics coat the air tube, minus the raised Volant lettering, in their red carbon material. Then scuff and paint the Volant lettering on the air tube. On the air box itself, keep all of it black, save for the very top. The top, I would mask off the raised bars (those raised sections surrounding the Volant placard), paint the top in redline pearl, then paint the raised bars with the same gloss black finish as the Volant lettering on the air tube. I wish I knew how to use Photoshop really well so I could mock up a design approach and get some more insight on how it would look.

 

I would leave the air tube and do a lil partial red on top of the volant somehow and figure a way to change the blue in the volant emblem to red!

 

Maybe the full box in the black with just the raised recesses on top done in the red hmmm!

 

So I did a real quick and nasty mock up in MS Paint...ewwwww! What you suggest here is actually the better route. I'm thinking the raised recesses and the Volant lettering on the air tube in red. Changing the blue portion on the Volant placard to red wouldn't prove too difficult either...quick sand, mask, paint should do it. Good idea bro, thanks!

Oh, my shark fin is finally on its way...woo hoo!

 

Lol atta boy u keep scratching that itch! The bugs a biting!

 

Yes it is indeed. However, I promised myself some upgrades to the command center this upcoming month so that's where I will be investing. By command center I mean my gaming PC, NAS, Intrusion Detection System, and BackTrack rig. Need to keep my technical skills honed and upgrades are overdue. So, after the steering wheel, shark fin, and shift **** are done, that's it for the month. July will spur on the next round of goodies...most likely lighting related!

 

Very Nice, Good Job
