The top kit is the Thunder kit, available in Korea. The bottom kit is the Alpine kit, which is/will be shortly available. Neither of them are from Shark Racing, but i think i heard that they were going to sell the thunder kit.

I Could be wrong, but I think SR is developing their OWN supercharger, not using the "Thunder" SC you see in those photos.

Your right the thunder kit requiers an ungodly awful looking hood because of where the SC sits its hideous I wouldn't touch that with a 10,000 MILE pole

i was wondering how they were gonna fit that under the hood. GAWWWWWWD that hood is ugly. maybe someone can tell me why companies go for sc's instead of turbos. i mean, you can get SO much more boost our of a turbo.

The Alpine kit looks better under the hood too, never mind just getting rid of the big bump in the hood... that setup makes it look like it's an SC designed for another car that they modified to fit the Tib. frown
