Not sure, but you can buy another brand of filter that will fit. BTW, looks very good. Did you use the painting process listed on this site, or did you do it another way? Curious, because your's looks so good that I would like to use the process that you used. Aqua Teen Hunger Force...number one in the hood, G

Did you put some kinda of clear coat on the red that you didnt yet on the blue?

How many times did you spray it on and did you just get the VVTL-I stickers? I got the hose cover at kragen. its $5 for 8 ft. They have different sizes too! The hose come cut already so all you have to do is slide it on to the hose you want to cover. I think i sprayed 2 coats of paint on it, not sure. Oh...and i just used some silver paint to paint the vvtl-i after it was covered by the blue. Gtscelica05 Carbon Blue
