I like it, but I would have ground the FAST and Wilson logos off to make it look even more stealthy.

I wish they would come in black. The tan color they come in doesn't match anything under the hood and sticks out like a sore thumb

Not a fan myself. I spent about 1,000 dollars on my intake so I'd like my motor to show it has the intake. Also, I don't street race at my age so I'm not trying to "sneak" anything by anybody

I hear that, but when it comes time for state inspection it might be best if the word FAST was not printed front and center in big red letters.

The intake looks good. Is that flat black or semi gloss?

I have to say I like it as well. The gray just dose not match any thing under the hood.
Would be nice if "Fast" would offer a few color options.

Looks awesome... as everyone has said, I'd grind the words off first. What type/brand of paint did you use? What did you prep the maifold with?

ABRO spray paint. the color is black. the cap of the spray container will denote color.
