505 Cold Air Box Round 2

[505zoom]

Hey guys, I just wanted to put up a post in here since there is more activity than the GB section. I am gauging interest in running another batch of my cold air intakes. Info is in the following thread (and there is also a link to the original GB there), but if you have any questions, feel free to post up or PM me.

Hoping to get this rolling for an early spring ship date.

So if I were to order one, what would the cost be for a full kit for an N/A car? Shipping and all.

Exact pricing is not set yet (depends on how many we make), but the first batch was $320 for a standard full N/A kit. Shipping is case dependent and is usually between 15-20 bucks for the USA. I expect this batch to come in very close to that.

So it will replace the entire intake system?

Question. Since the box takes up quite a bit of room, where has everyone been putting the coolant reservoir that's usually in that location?

Easiest spot is to use the bolt that's on the front passenger corner of the battery tray.

I really like the look of this setup, I want one. But I have to take care of a few other things before I spend on this.

Also wondering, is there a 505 logo anywhere on this?

I will most likely be putting a badge on the inside of the lid.

Hmm, I was thinking somewhere it can be seen. Maybe on the straight sliver pipe before the manifold?

The best solution for this is probably to just include a loose badge and leave it up to each customer to decide where it goes. I know a lot of people prefer the clean badge-less look, while others like the logo and want to display it.

A well designed badge is always worth displaying

I definitely agree with that, and personally like a little identifying flare on things like this as long as it isn't overdone. I also know from my intake manifold GB's that a lot of people want it to be as clean and factory looking as possible. A small badge with a strip of 3M double sided tape that can be placed wherever (or not at all) seems like the best way to try and make everybody happy.

I am open on this one though, and will consult with the people in the GB to see what they want with details like this.
