I think you should go with a blank intake, carbon valve covers, and sell me those ugly red ones.

Seriously, if you ever want to sell those, let me know please.

I like polished. With it rising the way it does black wouldnt look right, but polished always looks nice.

Once you go black you never go back ...

I like the previous color combo with black, it was cool taking a look in your engine bay. In the spirit of showcars though, polished is the proven route although I can't say I'm a big fan as it's easy to get overwhelmed with teh shiny.

i like the polished look myself, i think if you went black it would lose detail/hide alot of things. just think when the hotties bend over to look in at the engine you can look down their shirts threw the reflection
