One styling cue I don't understand

I think it deals with where the 2 tone continues to the corner near the marker lamp, along with the fact that they all came with the chrome package.

Will be using these fittings to match the overall look. Fuel system will look nearly Identical minus the nickel fittings.

Red & black..... really? As a true gator I could never have that color combo on any of my belongings. Nor garnet & gold.

Making sure I get the boost/ vaccum lines correct and a break in period. I don't have all the parts for the blower yet and need it before winter. So that will be in the works.

Need bridge, pullies, charger, expansion tank, belt, idlers, tensioner, and some crazy tuning work

Formed the upper plenum and intake so it matched the dimension of a factory charge. This way I can simply replace the plenum and intake. For the charger without forming new pipe and changing maf sensor placement.

Hey man. It matches the stock fx4 look which I'm trying to keep. Hope to not have any exterior changes from factory other than tires and maybe the hood.
