Haters gone hate... what's the difference between lime green and neon red for an intake other than the rarity of people who like the color green BTW more ricers And JDM guys use red over lime green.
No pics of Lamborghini and vipers that come on green???

Looks f-in' sweet! Wish I would have thought of something like that. I painted mine to match my car thinking it was the only one I'd seen till a week later when I saw one on eBay.

I like the green, I just don't know how it will look with your car. Forgive my ignorance, but is your car pewter? I'm not sure what that color combo would look like. Silver or White might be able to pull it off, Black can definitely pull it off, but Pewter? I dunno. If you're dead set of keeping the green then please change the valve covers from Red to Black. That would be a much nicer setup!

This is my exact problem, I do not want mine to look like everyone else's. I mean yeah its starting to get boring as in check out this Camaro,T/A or vette with the painted valve covers but I have seen them all the same color. Mostly red, blue or black not that it looks bad because it doesn't. Your looks sweet but for me it doesn't have the eye catching " holy $hIt " look at that when they pop the hood.

Look at it this way, once its put on the green will be coverd by the fuel rail and all the electrical crap that goes on it. Its not like the older 350's where you can see it all and the color stands out.

Lime green is an accent color unless you own a car that's over. $100k, 600hp or race spec don't paint your car lime green. IMO a car is just to big to be painted lime green unless its badass

Much better with the black valve covers.. I'd suggest breaking up the green on the intake. Maybe a black line between the runners or something.
