If it was sparkly salmon or something it'd look tacky, black is a good choice! stick it on! and be careful about over tightening the head bolts, they snap easy

Looks good mate, just need to paint the plenum chamber and throttle body now!

Always put it on and then you have another one to spray and get perfect!
