Default Painted the FAST intake
Damn this took forever!!!!! but happy with the results!!!... i took the pictures during the night so its not the best pictures... you just really have to see it in person!!!
i really liked the way this looked... Flat black!!! looked good but i just need the shine!!!

this is when i spraied the glossy black and without the red lettering

and this is the final result!!! i'll post up pictures once its installed...

Came out looking good!! what did you paint it with? I don't know if it's the pictures but the paint looks like it has bumps on it. Doesn't look as smooth as the first pic form before you painted it. Good job though. The red letters look bad-***!!

Nice. I would have just left it in flat black, then it would look completely stock.

Not trying to hate, so lets get that out of the way... but I like the flat black better. I guess it depends on your engine bay, for me, gloss wouldn't work.

Either way, it looks good. Just my cup of tea is flat black.
