Just wanted some opinions on color of intake. I'm either gonna get a blue or polished intake (AEM).
Currently my engine bay is basically stock. I pretty much want to go with a polished/black engine bay (Real Exciting I Know). I'm just worried that down the road, if i want to start engine painting, if the polished will still look good. I plan on getting the Kspec head cover, and the rside oil cap as well so keep that in mind.
Just wanted to see what you guys/girls thought.

the blue is a lot brighter (not as dark) then expected.
At least imo...
Go with silver. That way you're not stuck with a color scheme (like if ya went w/ red or blue).

Bringing up a really old thread I know, but I have a very similar question.
That is my engine bay now. I plan on getting:
A brushed aluminum strut bar for seoulfulracing.

The Beta 2 cover with either gun metal or silver oil cap.

A brushed aluminum fuze box cover if Midnight Wolf is still selling.

And now the question I need answered. With all those things added i'm heading towards a silver/aluminum/black scheme under the hood and i'm not sure if I should get a chrome AEM CAI or the one they SAY is silver. I would rather have a more silver than chrome because in my opinion the chrome looks like shit after about a month or two...BUT i've seen pics of lansharks tib and he has a "silver" AEM and it looks grey and I dont want that. Anyone have pics or advice on what the actual colour is like in person and if you think it would flow with the scheme i'm kinda goin for.
