Red- 1999 FireHawk
I think if you find a color that closely matches the stripes that it would look really good blue.

1999 Formula WS6 M6-sold- 2001 Silverado Z71
I'd paint it black(maybe even gloss black) so it looks fresh and clean.
And while you're at it with underhood appearance mods, reroute that TB coolant bypass under the smooth bellows and ditch the AIR system!!Last edited by Cutlass; 09-01-2009 at 06:46 PM.

you should paint the valve covers blue and the coil brackets silver to match the car. that would look sick

You could be really creative and alternate the humps in the intake with silver and blue... or just do the whole thing in blue, but keep the theme going.
Looks like some of your EGR/AIR system is gone??? Why not all of it?

Well, if you have the intake not yet on the car, you could try to just see what alternating the colors looks like, but using sliver duct tape and blue painters tape. Just a thought. It might be a little much, but certainly something only you would have!

I say paint the manifold blue and paint your lid silver and then later on throw some other blue and silver to keep the pattern going
