Default Had my fast hydro-dipped
So I decided to finally get rid of the primer gray intake look. Went with a hydro-dip. Now I cant wait to get it back on the car. I think it turned out great! What do you guys think?

I think your kinda limited on the designs. The shop I use showed me a book of films and I picked that out. It cost $100 to paint the top shell red, then dip it, and the clear. I had the base done in high gloss black for another $40.
Not bad considering...

That's quite an amazing manifold you've got there! Very original!

And thanks for sharing — you gave me an idea for some possibilities in the future!

If your car is red or black that will look awesome. The longer you look at it the more you notice.
