    Nice job mate!!!

    But you know what you've done wrong don't you :p???

    You've started blinging. Now it will never stop :p

    It's ok... :) I think i've made that very same mistake. Started with that bling kit that 300luva was selling, then I purchased the hard pipes from Caz. Seeing as my plenum will be coming off in the next week or so, i'm seriously considering having someone polish it up as well :rolleyes:.

    hehe... Keep at it mate :) It's looking GREAT :) :):D

    Hey jay, after you are done with the plenum, you should sell your old one on and we WA boys can all have bling plenums in no time :cool:
