Opened up the homey paint booth and went at it today...Damn thing came out sweet... :D This is PPG concept...Used this on my last intake and it holds up like a mofo, almost like powdercoating..Its single stage so no clear is needed either, this way it wont Yellow over time...

Painted the CAI parts to match the upper and bought some nice Gloss Black turbo connectors to finish it off...Next up is the Fox TB and its gonna be Black so it should look sweet all together...
Got a new Cobra plaque to throw on it to boot... :nice:

Thanks guys...Pics really dont do it justice..it smoother than a babies azz...I put hours and hours in removing casting flash, re-contouring it, removed some holes and rewelded then shut...then high build primed it, wet sanded it...Shes smooth for sure....
 
More pics....

Had to trial fit this tonite...Painted the TB gloss Black...it was still tacky, but you get the idea...looks sweet and some shiny....The C&L pc is temporary til i can get the other TB pc in...then it'll be one pc from MAF to TB...
