My Saturn with 70,000 miles had it's plastic radiator crack, and since it was not metal it could not be repaired. I was told this is common. Went through 2 overflow bottles, also. And 70k is not considered high milage these days.

guys, some off you lost the point. the ? was about a shield, not an air tube with a seam. plastic has it;s place, saves weight, cosy effective and can be used to make almost anything. Mike, NASA disagress with you. Captain the basis for were you seem to stand is good but not allmighty. this ain't the end of the world. mike, sys looks great. i bet both sys do the job well. as for dyno results,,,,, who cares!

Well some of the members have already ordered the Airaide. So we should be getting some reviews pretty soon...

I am leaning more toward the CGS but only if the pipes comes in colors or chrome! :D

ooooooo......colors!!.......chrome!!!...........:D

I would say.. on the Airaid... you can prep the intake with Plastic/composite primer coat, then apply the paint color you want..

Would this method work to paint the fuse bax cover, stock air filter cover, etc...? What about the heat?

Yes.. I believe they made the plastic/composite primer to allow the use of more spray colors.. they have spray plastic/composite colors that need no primer.. but you should scuff the surface to be painted a bit. a very very fine, prep pad should work..

Yup and if you want an anodized look Duplicolor offers a special primer so you can use their anodized look paints on plastic parts.

I'm thinking of going with Victory Red to match the exterior. Would the paint I get from the dealer be ok under the hood with all the heat?
