Hey man looks great! How do you remove the intake manifold in the first place? Is there a write up that includes the removal and re-installation somewhere?

When you take off the manifold can you reuse the gaskets or need new ones?

I painted mine gloss black. Looks really nice, but I didn't sand all those little circles away.

I think this is one of the best appearance mods you can do to your engine bay. I'll be doing mine here in a couple of weeks too. BTW your link didn't work. O and that will look sweet on nbm.
