The R2C Intake kit sure does make for an attractive add to the engine bay. Particularly in Black Nickel finish, and the white filter elements on a Moonlight White car.

I did this this to my last car using plastic/FRP primer and body paint but the paint eventually cracked due to the heat. Any issues with your paint job? I now have a blue slate and want to do this again but don't want it to crack so am wondering what kind of paint you used?

What's this crew here do about hose clamps? On my last car, I was fond of stainless-steel T-Bolts over the typical worm clamp. And now I'm looking to replace the rubber couplers that came with my new R2C intake with something else, along with the clamps.
These Stealth Clamps have some appeal, although still worm clamps, at least they'd be... well, stealth.
And then on the opposite side of that coin are these ProLock clamps out of GB, with something that could be a little over the top, but undeniably pretty:
Something like this has appeal to me, as well. Simple black coupling, with flat-black T-Bolts:

Google.This "radium" company sells them as part of an expensive coupler/t-bolt kit for the intercooler on a particular model Lotus.
