I'm referring to the piece of plastic with all the stickers on it



Think it'd be pretty sharp in a nice gloss(ier) black, as well as the other hoses.

This is an LS1 but did paint to make lid stand out but also believe they make an alum. or s.s piece for the LT1's (but understand if you have to work with what you have)
