IMO i'd only spend $200+ on one if it was set up racing spec or shows which it clearly is not.

Damn Racecraft, that's one horn lookin engine bay!!

Do the Au ones stay clean or do they have the same problem of discolouration after some time? I purchased a brand new EF bottle and it was brown in like 2 months even after a thorough system flush before and after installation, it seems to be a very common problem.

They are a box type, check the link - they're at the bottom of the page.

I'm looking into getting something custom made. I might have some extras made if there is enough interest!

I painted a brend new one 2 years ago and it still looks as good as the day i put it in the car.

I scuffed if up, used plastic primer, then hifil primer, then painted it.
Easy as.

I know CVE have made them before for customers, if I can get 5 or so people interested I can look into a good price.

Will probably be around $200-230 each
