Default What Color?

I just want some opinions on what color to paint the coil packs. I think I have narrowed it down to gloss black or silver. What do you guys think? I also plan on the painting the intake as well but I'm not sure if I want to do that now or at a later time.

Hard to say since the valve covers are painted you could go either way. I think silver with a silver intake would look pretty clean.

Thanks for the input peeps. I painted them silver and I'm just waiting on the clear to dry. I'll let them sit overnight and install them tomorrow. I'll put up a picture or two then.
