Default Painted my intake
well my motor blew at 37000 miles. i have a shortblock ready to put in i was bored today, and i had a can of high temp paint left over from my calipers that i painted, so i figured why not paint the crappy ls1 intake. heres a pic of the intake and some of the other parts laying around the house. theres car parts in every room i feel like my house is 1 big garage
