Are these going to be made in aluminum or steel like your proto?

well we'll obviously see what we can do for our prized yarisworld veteran ;) color preference? You going to shoot some nitrous?

Plus drilling and tapping the aluminum will be like butter compared to cutting into steel

Bump ~ just to get a general demographic, does anyone want there to be colorful anodizings for a flashier piece to match the red and blue of the NOS kit or black. Any other color suggestions are welcomed...

I don't really mind either way, but if you do choose to anodize, I'd really prefer a graphite gray color to match the pulleys (I don't have any other colors under there, and I'd rather keep it that way). If gray isn't an option, then I'd go for black.

I can make it bright green if you want lol I can pickup some gunmetal/graphite grey if you need it, i might use that other than black if thats the case because it would match pulley sets and possibly the tb better..

edit* So definately a go on the red!!!

+1, if you make graphite grey that would rock.

I don't care about color. If I had to choose, I'd say Red or Grey.
