Should I paint my air lid ?

[Speedy_Gonzales]

I was cleaning on my engine the other day with some de-greaser and wipe off the air-lid and the SLP letters came right off.

Should I leave it all black, paint it a different color or put some type of badge or maybe LS1 on it ? Any ideas ?

I have some red CAMARO letters I could put on it

Ok I will check it out. How long did it take you to deck out that engine bay like that ?

I plan on re-doing my intake and lid soon.

Flat black.

About 3 years---I accumulated stuff a little at a time because of the cost

If you look at other albums , you can see the changes over the years
