Thankfully, this vampire won’t be glowing in the sunlight or making terrible movies. Nope, this one’s intent is nothing but asphalt shredding and terrifying you.

More on why there’s even a vampire reference in a little bit. For now, though, we’re happy to announce that the Corvette intake parts have come back from the powdercoater and are fully installed. On top of fitting great, they look epic. Here’s what they look like in “un-fun” mode, sitting on a conference table:

And here’s a quick shot of the top-down view. Nothing remotely vampiric or Transylvanian here…

…But then we get to the intake ducts. The fronts were polished and made shiny in order to stand out through the newly-blacked-out lower grill. Seeing the design without the bumper, you can sort of get an idea of how it’ll look…

Once you get the bumper, on, however, you can see where the vampire references come from. All of a sudden, this Vette has grown some serious fangs, rivaling even those of the Viper (and we’re sure that many people have very strong opinions about Corvette and Vipers in relation to one another).

Once we get the 400 other cars off the dyno, we’ll see just how good this intake functions. For now, though, it produces a good intake note and looks ridiculous, to boot. We’ve got some brake ducts to fabricate for the Corvette, then after that, it’s back into the arms of the owner (after a VERY intense wash-down, natch) while we work like madmen to get ready for MFest. Big things are happening!
