I'm wanting to get my intake and engine brackets powder coated. I would use high temp on the lower.

I can't see there being any cons to powdercoating stuff except maybe time and money. Is the stuff heavy?

I'm always blown away by how nice things look when they have been given the p c treatment.

To me, nothing looks as good as "bling" but on a daily driver, it's MURDER.

Take a look at Rio's setup, and you'll see how nice an engine bay can look with reflecting every bug that flies by.

Sometimes a smooth, uncluttered, clean, color-matched look is the the way to go..
