Default Painted Intake Pic

Color is Cadillac Redline Pearl Metallic and it's a theme I carried over into the interior of the car also.

Well, the fact that you asked that makes me feel good. I painted it.

I get all my painted custom mixed at an autobody supply shop.

Workin' on it!! I'm in the process of "smoothing" out the engine bay. Filled in all the holes left from the !wire mod and now I'm getting ready to paint the shock towers black. After that everything goes back in.
