I just happen to be taking my SE Stage 1 AC off this weekend, I am replacing it with a nice K&N custom billet set up.

If you are interested PM me and we could work something out. I have a nice chrome cover too that is like new.

It's EFI....

Then you need a tuner or for the dealer to flash the ecm with a stage one tune.

Since you got the pipes already you might as well finish the stage one and let it breath a little.

Personally, I like not having all the blacks the same shade of black since it adds a little contast.

Your photography skills are top notch, how do you get all of those colors out of the mountains?

Thanks. Nice camera helps as well as some post processing. Time of day is a big factor. Sometimes I also shoot three frames at different settings and merge them together (high dynamic range).
