i have been following this from the beginning and yes this is just the lower portion, i would love a sneak peak at the upper portion if its developed. i cant wait to see this thing on the market this things looks like something i couldnt have even imagined at the beginning i just hope they completely remove the factory air box and have a more direct unit. does anyone out there know what the wildboar looks like under the hood or is that just another concept idea? i just really would like to see some pics of this idea, im not really in a mad hurry to get one but feel like im getting a bit of a tease with this and am very curious and anxious. keep up the good work RR youl be seen a check really soon for one.

Looking good, keep up the great work. I can't wait to get one of these badboys once available, fortunately my piggy bank is getting rather full.

Its not about sick, rad or cool. It would actually be more fuel efficient so you would waste "Less" gas, and have more horsepower. Also it would eliminate points of failure and should be cheaper to make if using abs or pvc plastic. It will also eliminate modifying your factory airbox to be sealed to the new snokel "failure point". The pics I listed were just to show an inline filter and tube. I'm not into the flashy chrome and carbon fiber myself. and by theway all snokels act like a CAI.

I probably have about 3-4 months before I pull the trigger on buying something. Sure hope this is available by then. I'm getting tired of following this thread.

I mean this bit, It seems extra. If it has function okay, just looks half thought, maybe full length like the drawing or flat would look cleaner.

It looks a little like a fastener to secure top section to the base, kind of like the latches on a plastic tool box.
I like the overall look, but it looks like my windshield lights would have to go.

This is such a bummer but I guess you can't have them all, was thinking remove just one and convert the other to a movable searchlight type, like on police cruisers.

That's a pretty cool idea, I saw on another thread that someone makes a side mirror extension bracket that has a spot for a light. I might go that route.

It looks like from the drawing on the first page the light will be able to be used. It looks like there are two options, one have it at hood level, the other to come out the side and go up the window. I hope that's how it works!! I don't want to give up my lights!!!!
