Guys,

I spoke to Eloy this afternoon --great guy .

He needs a a few V8 volunteers located in SoCal and willing to get fitted with the RPI scoop. He simply needs to know if it will fit as is, or if modifications are necessary. I know there's nation-wide interest in this, but I'm located in Texas, and it's too far to drive for me.

So I was wondering if I can have 3 volunteers:
  • pre-LCI 545i
  • pre-LCI 550i
  • LCI 550i
All Eloy needs to do is test fit the RPI scoop. Btw, he's willing to offer a nice discount to the first volunteer for each V8 model.

I would really appreciate your help. Please PM me if you're available and interested.

I'll go ahead and start out a list of interested V8 folks (In case it works out for us):

Thanks navin, I believe this time around he simply needs the car for fitment, but I'll double-check for you.
