Painted Intake Manifold?
Does anyone have pics of their painted intake manifold...? I am not to picky about the model... I just wanted to see if it looks okay with an unpainted throttle body...

Thanks,
Randal C.

Yes, you "need" to take the TB apart for that...and actually those parts are powder coated...not paint...

you can paint the TB without removing everything, but it will look much better if you take the time to do it right.

I considered painting the throttle body black but the aluminum matches the intercooler piping and makes people take a 2nd look to find the throttle body.
