Default Please help with crappy asthetic decision (intake manifold colour)

The intake manifold... those that have powder coated it, show me! I was thinking white would look good and tie in with my wheels. See white colour below. I dont think it would be too hard to keep clean. Black would be another colour I would consider...

I did mine bright silver-I just wanted it to look new. The other color I debated was a graphite gray...
I am pleased with the way this turned out. I polished all of the bolts and brackets-and updated the vacuum lines while I was in there.

On a silver car, graphite is a definite go.

I powder coated mine clear.
I think it look good that way. It has some shine to it so it match to the pipes. And also since its powder coated it super easy to keep clean.


I think in white it won't look good. White engine parts make it too bling bling show car'ish.

Did Promotion install the HKS Sequential Blowoff Valve or did you add that later? Just curious because I was thinking of buying one for a very low price off of a friend and wanted to see how it ran in your car? Is it blowing off or recirculating?

Sorry for the delay in reply.
No Promotion did not install the HKS Seq B.O.V.
I have the Intake boot capped off and the valve just vents into the atmosphere,it runs great and has given me no problems of any kind,plus sounds real good.
Btw,How is the car david is building for you?Hows it coming along?
