If you like it then rock it proudly man. Wasn't trying to be harsh, but at the same time you posted a thread asking for people's thoughts.. and if everybody thinks negatively about it so far I think thats a pretty good indication of the reaction most people will have when they see it!

I think the green and black will look awsome, but as you can see its just me. Its a little bit of old school on the color for me. My dad had that green Camaro when he was a kid and I loved that thing till it was stolen.

Yeah my needed thought was on the paint job but everyone hit me on the color. This was the first time for me to paint anything.

The actual paint job itself turned out great!

SEXY red valve covers should be black dark grey or silver.
Painted my valve covers green I thought about doing the intake first but have seen too many of them fading and flaking off.

Really well this is 500 degree paint so I hope it lasts, if not then I will sand and paint again with different paint.

I'd rather see a green intake over colored wire looms any day.
