Not the car, silly. Been looking at the pipe routing for the ProCharger, don't see any way to retain the carbon fiber airbox I've been working on. Finally got the cover made, just got a bunch of finishing up to do. Lots of coats of epoxy, sanding, compounding, and polishing to get it looking good. I will get it finished and installed in time to have it on my car for Cabin Fever, Knoxville's first car show of the year.
Sometime in the spring I will probably be putting it up for sale, preferrably the airbox and Metco tube together. It is designed specifically for the Pro-M 80mm MAF. As some of you know, the mounting points for this MAF are different from the OEM unit and the Pro-M does not come with any sort of bracket or heat shield for the integral conical filter. This setup provides mounting for the MAF, heat isolation for the incoming air charge, a mounting point for the separate IAT sensor, the matching Metco intake tube, and it all uses the OEM mounting points.
Whenever I get my ProCharger kit, I will be using the current version to create a mold which will be modified to provide for similar functions on the new system. It will use the OEM mounting points, isolate the incoming air charge from heat, but provide for mounting of the Pro-M MAF sensor in the 90 degree rotated orientation.
I will be keeping my Pro-M MAF since this unit is already programmed into my car's files, so this will only be useful to someone who already has or will be upgrading to this type MAF and it will only work on N/A or Trilogy equipped cars.
Here are some pics of where it stands now. Once it's finished I'll post more.

BTW, it will mate up to the ram air system I'm working on, too! This will be awhile though. Maybe by MVIII.
