Here is mine in Charoal Grey Metallic. I also painted the coil brackets the same. Then topped it off with alum. fuel rails. I also relocated the evap down by the fuse box and updated the pvc to ls6. That, plus omitting the AIR tubes cleaned it up real nice

I smoothed mine and sanded off the FAST logos...then the bodyshop used multiple coats of sandable primer to complete the smoothing...
