Painted LS6 intake, check out my new pics and vote

Well what do you guys think? Just be honest, cuz I don't care. I figured pewter would look good in the center of the engine bay and then paint the valve covers black and probably get some black oem corvette fuel rail covers and paint them a nice gloss black. Or maybe get some custom black fuel rail covers and or valve covers.

It's a multiple choice poll, VOTE AWAY!

The first one looks silver but the 2nd and 3rd look pewter. Are they the same intake?

hey thx guys, yes i took a few different shots with different settings on the camera...flash on and off...and other manual settings so you can see the look of the intake. i guess the flash made it look silver
