Here's my engine with my "fabbed by Vinnietbird,One of none" Cobra intake.




Mines got more shine!:hick: :flame:
Really though, those intakes take forever to get smooth! I worked on my explorer intake on and off for two months, and I went as far as removing all the cast marks on the upper and lower. I'm shure you found out how bad aluminum stains your hands.
    All that work I did and now I have a typhoon intake going on and I'm selling the explorer setup!

I can see myself in the intake,and,it only took me a copuple of days of off and on work,so,good enough for me.I wear those rubber surgical gloves when I mess with this stuff,so no stained hands,and no angry wife for getting aluminum stuff everywhere.

As far as the side view of the Sport,let me check.

I suppose it may sit a little high,but those are the factory springs.It doesn't bother me.I never drag the front spoiler,and never catch my lers  or any other part of the chassis on speed bumps.I like it.I have thought about bringing the front down about an inch someday,but I'm still gathering my thoughts on that idea.

By the way,since that pic was taken,the bodywork on this side has been done,and the interior completely swapped.I also re-aligned the driver door after swapping the lower hinge.Lines up nice and pretty now.
