Default Painted a stock ls1 intake
The color is a silver metallic, the pictures do not do the color justice as they were taken on my cell phone. I will try and get better pics asap.

Thanks guys! I work in materials engineering and this color is a paint we just developed. We had some extra from our trial run and I decided to use it on this spare intake I had laying around.

I'll try and get a few pictures with an actual camera so you can see the flake in it. It looks 100x better in person!

Fb0dy0nly- It's just a spare intake I had laying around. I don't plan on putting it on a car unless camaro396 on here wants to toss it on his car.
