anybody else paint theirs?

i had a spare one so i did a graphite flake finish with a black chrome m badge matching my exterior badges

That looks really nice. Are you gonna do the inlet manifold too?

That car looks really clean.

I'm looking at getting a csl airbox/tune next year, so I probably won't paint it

Very well done. Looks Great!

Nice result!

I was going to do the exact same color on mine. I'm just waiting this spring to be able to paint it outside.

I'm also going to do some vent/slot/hole in mine to lower the coil temp.

wow looks really good, a little off topic does anyone know where to get the engine emblem ?

eBay. Has a ton. Or dealership. Same size as trunk badge

As usual, dubsesd, another tasteful mod! Looks great!
