   Do you know if painting is required, or do they come matched and
clearcoated? Any pictures of 'em anywhere?

   The thing I'd worry about most with something like this would be
the paint match with the rest of the truck. It would look pretty dumb
if it was even a little bit off, I should think. Also, I wonder if the
fiberglass flexes at all during driving?

  Do you suppose the cowl will allow for a taller K&N element?

   Yeah, I suppose I could just call the company, but this is much more
fun! ;-)

  (I also hate telephones.) :-)
