As for the finish, the raw aluminum is meant to be an option for those who wish to provide their own custom coating rather than having AAM Competition powder coat the manifold. We offer black powder coating at no additional charge, as this intake manifold is intended to be given a proper finish.

Patrick, the piece quality is pretty "rough". Even if you were to get it powder coated, it requires a good amount of prepping. The one I receive has lots of dings at least.
Also, the from what I can see, the insides weren't even cleaned up. There are left over aluminum flaps right by the intake inlets.
