Default Decided to spiff up my FAST intake

It looked too boring just dull gray with that faded red logo up front, but I didn't really want to change the appearance of it too much because I like the way it looks. So I took some NBM touch up paint and some silver touch up paint and painted the logo, then I used some adhesion promoter on it to make sure the clear stuck. After that I sprayed a couple coats of clear on it and it came out really nice. I definitely like the way it looks cleared, so if anyone is considering doing it, now you know what it looks like.

You did a nice job! I just may have to do something like this. Maybe change it to black though so it's not really noticeable as soon as you open the hood. I like the sleeper look but there's no way around it with the FAST intake lol.

Thanks! It'll be getting installed within the month, hopefully. Just waiting on a few more parts and I'll be doing the intake, TR224 cam, and Pacesetter LTs at the same time, along with a tune. That should do a good job of getting me in the 12's finally, lol.
