I painted one black on my 1G. My EMS did not show any significant changes in intake charge temps after this was done.

As long as you use the correct paint it will be fine.

Its a thermal paint of sorts. I remember reading about in SCC along time ago, but cant remember the name. Do a search on google and you should find it.

Very nice car though. Is that the regular HKS S-type (something like that?) that they normally sell? My friend has it and it didnt look that big.
