I have to disagree purely from an engineering standpoint. I realize it's a show car that never seen ignition, let alone the street. But all that chrome is just heat soak city. N/a with fancy hoses, a detail look nice, but that short ram right over the exhaust? Um... no. It's a neat idea to tuck the air bag into the the engine bay for a show car, but I'm not so certain I'd want that much compressed air directly next to that kind of heat source. Ever thrown a can of hairspray in a camp fire... well....



And I'm not even going to discuss the Veilside badging on a duraflex knockoff kit. Let's just say it's called the Turbulence K01R for a reason.

Definitely a trailer queen. The odometer probably see's an increase of 2 miles per year. The airbag compressor, solenoids, and tank being in the engine bay is the most idiotic thing ever.
