I have color matched my intake maifold and now i want to do more but dont want to over do it. I plan to do the VC's eventually but right now im thinking about doing my CAI. I just cant decide if i want to do the entire thing or do only the tube or the air box. As for the Volant lid i put some 3M CF on it bc i don't like the blue design on it. Opinions please? Just keep in mind when i do my heads and cams i will be painting the valve covers at that time. Here's a few pics.

I would say just do the high spots on the intake housing to make it pop but not have it over done

Just parts of it if it has high spots with any form of molded markings. I havent seen the Volant in awhile so cant remember if they have ridges on the side or anything.

If you want the under hood to pop more get these:

Billet Accessories

They all say Hemi far as what they fit but all your caps look the same. We have the red ones at the shop on 2 of the cars and makes it look alill more fancy, just not cheap.

I thought about that roo. But for now im going to leave the CAI alone and take KGBIGCOUNTRY's advice. But instead of paying over 200 for the billet caps im just going to paint them myself today. After that i will try to photoshop a little to see how it will look with the e-fan shroud painted. Thanks

Here's what i ended up doing, not sure if it will start chipping down the road but if it does i will just go ahead and do it in billet aluminum.
