Engine bay pics with green intake manifold and GTO badge...lots of pictures!

Along with my cam install, I bolted up a set of polished smoothie valve covers and had my intake manifold powdercoated to (somewhat) match the car. It's a deep metallic green with silver flake in it. Under the light, it looks amazing! I also added my other GTO 5.7 badge on top of the manifold and had the fins polished to a mirror shine. Not too tacky if you ask me...

Here's a few pictures. The light isn't too good in some of these, but you get the idea.

That looks outstanding except for the sparkplug wires.

I am assuming that your car is polo green? you did a nice job painting, but i probably would've picked a different color... send me a pic when it's installed so i can get you a better opinion.
good job painting though.

I'm probably going to switch the wires out and use side looms, since the valve cover bolts don't reach all the way into the heads, and the bolts are one-of-a-kind.

The car is metallic green, so I guess the same as Camaros. I know the colors are named different, but are actually the same color.

What wires/color do you recommend?

It's not painted...it's powdercoated and clearcoated.

No paint here!

Very Nice!

How long have your headers been on the car they look brand new? If they have been on for while, how did you keep them so shiny?

on my green camaro, I use black red and silver... in your case for an engine bay, i would say black would look cool... second place goes to red... and lastly silver, because that would get (look) dirty easy.
