Looking good, now put some wheels on it and let's see it moving!
How did you create the carbon adapter?

I whipped a solidworks design. exported to a .stl then to a .gcode via a "slicing" softwares...then loaded it into the printing app....click print.
Also insulates the throttle body from the intake manifold and barely even heat soaks. I am planning on a carbon intake spacer to drop the heat soak down a bit more too.

Nice progress.
I heard that those LED H4/H7 replacements do not even come close to regular Halogen bulbs light-emitting wise.
Could you tell if this is true?Lucas
