Looks good... but a colour match on the carbon fiber would be fantastic...

I thought it looked like a better match when I compared the 2 of them indoors but it does look far out in that picture. Maybe it's the false light /photo makes it looks worse than it is. I'll take a look tomorrow in the daylight.

Mike it looks like your RS4 square red Sticker on the upper carbon fibre strip is lifting, best grab some super glue :D or is it just the pic?

No it's definitely lifting. I meant to glue it last night when it was all in pieces but it was early midnight by the time I got it all back together and forgot.its been annoying me for a while now so it's my next job!

. Yes agreed,waiting on the fellas at revolution to give us an update...

My sticker on the top carbon piece has lifted a little as well,you will have to let us know if superglue does it..as I tried what I thought was superglue a couple of weeks ago and it did not do it..

Mike glad to hear you noticed a difference,it's a great tone and compliments the v8 perfectly Imo... :beerchug:

Afetr a little more driving, I'm almost gutted I'm having the new exhaust fitted so soon as I really love the sound it makes now! I wish now I'd got the intake sooner and then got the exhaust a whiel later when I started to get bored of it a bit.

Only problem is that unless you go for an aftermarket high heat resistance part, the pre-preg carbon fibre on the engine will always go a different colour at some stage to the Revokution intake so if they match it to one colour at some time it will look different. Better to get a c/f version of the RHS OEM plastic engine cover to give some symmmetry and new rocker covers from fleabay

When we do the covers (on an exchange basis, hopefully) we will replicate the V8 Sticker under the carbon - the badge will have to be removed carefully and stuck down again with 3M.

As soon as I get the 1st one back i will do some photos and upload them.
