I actually tried to order an airflow yesterday, but everyone is sold out, DPG said they could get me one shipped from Australia, but the shipping would be near 4x as much. They said the usually get a new shipment around the 1st of the year. So ill call back then

Doesn't Krylon make that new paint you can paint plastic lawn furniture with now?
Saw it on TV but never tried it.

This is mine. We designed it like this so we can still use the stock air box when driving in the city. It takes about 2 minutes or less to hook the air box back up.
