2006 VZ Alloytech Exec..... Here's some night pics of my just finished intake manifold I've painted. I painted it black to complete the engine bay because I had painted the other plastic covers..... and silver just looked tacky.......

forgive my night shots....... u get the idea tho. I think it looks pretty cool myself. Cant half tell it screams " I'M A 6 " with the red on the engine covers....

undercoat of red heat resistant caliper paint, then 4 coasts of standard jet black touchup paint as I didn't have any heatresistant black ......... worked great. i actually think the head resistant paint stops the bonnet heat from getting to the intake a bit as well....... seemed to drive alot better then usual today even with my mace engineering spacer.

I've been trying to get my hands on one of those for month's.
The wrecker's are fresh out.
I tried Repco but they have never heard of them.
What did you pay for your's?
Perhaps you can go back to 1985 and pick one up for me.
