Show me your intakes!!
I am planning to pull my intake/ cam tower to clean and paint them at some point.
So, what color combos have been done?
This is on my black car with a currently grime covered engine.

I think I want something shiny and polished for my intake, like chrome. Though I have a silicone hose kit for everything under the hood and it's in red...so anyone with pics of a red polished intake if I decide to match it with the red hoses?

Laust has the best intake manifold bar none, might be a bit much for some though lol.
How about a red crinkle finish on the IM like Ferrari? That'd look pretty damn neat. For the cam cover I love the look of painting the background then polishing up the PORSCHE letters, it really makes it pop.
And I knew I saw an example of it recently, take a look at brad-cam's avatar: https://rennlist.com/forums/944-turb...great-car.html

Doug, you've seen mine. Matte black powdercoat on the cam tower and manifold. I can't recommend powdercoat enough, it stays clean, doesn't chip easily and continually looks great. Or your could polish your stuff and then powdercoat it clear to seal it. Whatever you do, make it yours and don't gay it up.

polished cam tower from Lart (awesome price, btw), then painted the black inlay myself, then polished the intake myself.
I was worried about how much up keep it would take, but I used Mother's mag and aluminum polish on them before I installed them and haven't touched them since. and that was about a year and a half ago.
