AEM intake - which color....
i'm having issues deciding which finish to go with on the intake i ordered.
my car is red right now, and i was thinking of keeping it that way to save on the paint job after the kit goes on.
i DO, however, want something custom too..... but havn't decided yet.
either way, i have to pay for the intake very soon and decide which finish i'm gonna' go with.
what do you guys think? stay with red and just roll with the red and yellow ferrari theme kinda? or get a polished one just in case i decide to paint it grey or blue.....
i thought i'd have my mind made up by now, but i keep changing it. such is the curse of a gemini. haha

With a red car, I'd prolly do Polished.
What you realy need to do is figure your your color setup for your car.
Example...
Mine is Black car, anodized blue parts where available, silver if not, no chrome, blue lighting, blue and silver paint accents.
Figure yours out and you won't be dissapointed.

i have redz. i've had about 4 different set-ups like that, and i just can NOT make up my mind.
i know it's VERY important to do that before you start doing shit. after i get my intake and some rims, i'm done modding for a while. it'll give me some time to bang out a final plan.

Go Red.. and get someone who is good at airbrushing.. and have flames painted onto it.. I am thinking of doing something like that for my intake, plug-cover, and whatever i can paint in there
