Liquid Innovations: Wood Grain InJen Intake Pipe

Took the original wrinkle black InJen Cold Air Intake and changed it into wood grain for a different, unique looking engine bay.







What do you guys think? I think its very unique and different. All three pictures represent the intake without high-heat automative clear coat.

+1 for originality however not a fan of making the car look any less technologically advanced than it is from the factory

I hope you don't misconstrue this (as I'd want you to tell me the same), but you've misspelled "splitter" in your signature.

Thanks and its just to be different if I ever need to pop my engine bay. Just stands out for fun. Its pretty easy to reverse back to wrinkle black or even like carbon fiber print.

That's cool that it's easily changeable like that, gets the wheels turning to other things I'd like to coat now!

They do a lot of engine covers and valve covers.

Digi camo and different types of carbon are probably their most popular.

Damn, if I knew how to do it myself I'd likely have every spoon and fork in my house covered in gloss black!

Wow, really cool! So is it like a plastic coating that you can peel off, kind of like a shrink wrapped CD case, or a bottled drink?

Well you can't peel it by hand. You can only take it off by sand blasting.

Wow, this stuff is crazy! Just watched some videos of hydroprinting on youtube, interesting process.

Hope to see some more, as well as installed pics.

+1 for originality. I'd love to see more engine bay accents done up like this.

Dark wood would look real nice too.

Lets see it installed !
