Stop liking the chrome and polished look years ago, the color is more of a gun metal slash powder coating look.

This will change soon after you get the work done when you can't put the power to the ground.

Just finished the h/c install with the dyno tune and the car made 475 rwph , needed trick flows to reach that 500 mark with heads and cam only setup. But hey it's more than a stock z06 so I can't complain , the car feels good.
