Default Help/advice

Ok all, I just got this hi-ram intake, and now my brand new valley cover kinda looks ugly. This is a stock gm piece that has knock sensors and pcv built in. So my question is: how do I make it look decent? Do I buy a cover off eBay and drill and tap a hole for to run my pcv system, or do I just paint this black or orange to match block and heads(haven't painted engine yet) ? Open to ideas and suggestions. It's on a 6.0 with alum heads and will have single 76mm turbo

It doesn't look ugly to me...


Are you really going to run that fan...?

It looks "technical" and it supports knock sensors (which a flat cover does not).

I vote paint it satin black, and the intake to match.

Or just the valley black...
