As for fitting the strut bar on, how much higher is all that sitting? I put washers under my strut bar mounts but I'm about to get some spacers made by waterjet to put on each side. Let me know how thick you need them and I'll have some made for you too. I personally wouldn't go so thick that you can't fit the nut fully onto the threads, but that's just my preference. I want at least 1 thread to show on the top side of the nut.

I agree with Brian, that wrinkle powdercoat finish is awesome! I might have to copy that if you don't mind HAHA.

My IC piping is set up the same way too, basically touching each other with the coupler there just to make a seal, but mine is more ghetto than yours haha.

I like your cold air intake too, makes me think I need to get a smaller IC so I can have room to fit my filter like that too, and possibly get less of a pressure drop at the same time.

I didn't know Rotary Works made a TB elbow, that's awesome!
