Default I made aluminum radiator air scoops for the "V"...

I have 2 pictures in my photo page (second row - click on the photo's for a larger view). No one makes these for the V-Force yet (at least none that I could find) so I figured I'd make them myself. I cut the "fins" out of a thick aluminum kick plate (door kick plate) and reinforced it at the base with some heavy aluminum bar stock. I slapped some stickers on it and called it done. I brought my fins out to match up with my bumper and narrowed them at the top where the body comes over them. I saw this idea on another site....looked simple enough. I attached my fins right over the stock plastic "scoops" but I will probably cut the stock plastic fins off and just attach mine directly to the radiator.

Thanks guys.....and your correct coolin, it's WAAAAAAY to clean for my liking. I beat on it a few months ago and got it nice and dirty then detailed the heck out of it. Since then I've had it at the storage unit (waiting for our builder to finish our house - no room for the "V" at the rental house). It's been in a thousand pieces while I've been putting on all the mods. I travel and work a lot of hours in the winter so she hasn't been out since.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Higgs, Jet Hot only charged me $135 for both pipes ( I've heard the same from others, must be their standard price) and I was without them about a week. I sent them out on a Monday and recieved them back at my house the following Tuesday.... FAST turn around if you ask me considering what they have to do with them.

SHOTGUN, the actual dimensions of the decal is 9.5" x 2.75". When I ordered them they may have called them 10" x 3" but I'm not sure.
