Ok all, I just got this hi-ram intake, and now my brand new valley cover kinda looks ugly. This is a stock gm piece that has knock sensors and pcv built in. So my question is: how do I make it look decent? Do I buy a cover off eBay and drill and tap a hole for to run my pcv system, or do I just paint this black or orange to match block and heads(haven't painted engine yet) ? Open to ideas and suggestions. It's on a 6.0 with alum heads and will have single 76mm turbo

It looks "technical" and it supports knock sensors (which a flat cover does not).

I vote paint it satin black, and the intake to match.

Or just the valley black...
