Plus the workmanship of his products SUCK! Well at least the gauge pods.

THANK YOU GUYS. finally more people are agreeing with me about thelostrican. Please for the love of God buy the ViS scoop. the workmanship is great. You know what happened to my poorly fitting hoodscoop from thelost? I tried adjusting it and the cheap ass screws he has for mounting well there are two thing: for one they get rusty and two as i was tightening them THEY PUNCTURED ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE OTHER SIDE!!! this only happened to one screw but when i look real close to the other side i could see a little bump like its about to punture. long story short now my hoodscoop has a hole (200 dollar mistake right there) in it and im buying its replacement from ViS which uses they same bolt style as the stock scoop to attatch.

the only reason i recommended them was because I had not other place to recomend... it was just as a suggested starting point in your search - nothing more, nothing less.

^ Works for me They do look great. I was just wondering if there was any performance increase like more air flow and or better cooling of the engine bay.
