Well my Edelbrock LT1 intake manifold finally came in and I'll be putting it on this weekend. I wanted to paint it but need some help on choosing a color.

Car is black and underhood has a few red accents (strut tower bar and wire looms). I'll be changing the wire looms to black since I think it looks trashy so all that will be red is the strut tower bar. I also have some polished valve covers to put on also.

I was thinking of RED, BLACK or leaving it silver like it is now. I'm leaning towards black but I like how the red stands out. However, I do not want to be a poser like I have LT4 goods under the hood. Help me out.

Here is a current pic with the stock manifold painted red. Strut bar not pictured.

I would paint it red, something that sticks out from the main color of the car. Otherwise, a black one with some chrome fuel rail covers would look sweet, but I don't know if you could fuel rail covers in there...

 

I say get a custom job done like my silver vein. It sticks out just enough to be different, without screaming like some colors that have been done way too much IMO (cough.. RED cough)

 

You sure have a rainbow of color under the hood.

 

mines painted chevorlet orange, and it looks great

 

rainbow is getting deleted as we speak...just sprayed the first coat of black. I think its gonna look real nice. Thanks for the comments guys.
