I'm starting to think about color schemes for my engine bay right now. I really like how wrinkle black looks on the valve cover. How do you think wrinkle black would look on the intake manifold also while the exhaust manifold and battery tray is flat black? I know the wrinkle has been done many times before so it really doesn't have to be wrinkle black. I'm also open to suggestions. Thanks

Check out this thread...you probably already have but...if not...check it out ENGINE BAY PICTURE THREAD and check out other peoples work.....I saw a wrinkle black intake from AMS or MAP or somewhere ....not sure if it was an option or they had it done after purchasing it...looked great!!! The wrinkle black valve cover also is a cool look...for me at least.... Many Many options...you can even match up your calipers to your engine bay to tie it all in!

Have fun and post up pics of your progress..!

I've been scrolling through that 145 page thread but 90% of them IMO aren't my style. Most of them are messy, cluttered, and DIY. I'm getting my parts coated at either TCC or Swain. I'd really like to do it once and not regret anything I've done.

I really like yours. Did you do it yourself or get it professionally done?
