Thanks!

I’m going to fab up a direct connection to the factory airbox intake first, and then I’m going to decide if I want to keep it unfinished or paint it black.

I was planning to go black, but looking at it in person it sort of flows well unfinished and I’m worried black would actually call more attention to it…

But we’ll see once I fab up the fresh air intake!

Thanks for the post and pictures!

Did you end up using a Mazda OEM radiator cap? Do you have the part number handy?

Thanks for the reminder! Yes I used the Mazda piece and ordered direct from sakebomb garage. Though the part number listed a couple posts up is exactly right. And it fit perfect! I haven’t replaced the sticker with the Honda one but I may

How about a wrinkled-textured matte or satin black?

Yeah I’m definitely leaning towards black, just curious to see what I end up with on the intake side before committing to it…I definitely like the idea of the same satin black as the radiator..
