Painting FRCs and intake manifold So I'm trimming my FRCs to put in and i'm going to fill in the corvette and primer them out for paint. But I don't know what color. I also have my intake manifold out and want to paint it as well, but yet again i'm not sure.
The car is silver with a black hard top.
the combos i was thinking about is:
1) Black intake manifold and silver FRCs
2) Silver intake manifold and black FRCs
I'm leaning more towards #2 since the car is mainly silver, to me the i/m is more apart of the car then the FRCs (more of an accent/add-on appearance...my interior accents are black and the berger). i dunno if that makes sense to anyone else or not?
If anyone has pics of either of these that would help as well....or photoshop of someones?
Thanks for your input

I agree with your choice on number 2. Should look nice either way though really. Now, do tell, is the first picture photoshopped? Because if not, that is an absolutely SICK drop.

sounds good. haha, thanks. naw, its with sportlines on. if your car is a show car, they're a great spring (if you get some good matching shocks)...but as far as performance, they suck; therefore i ditched them.
