Painting?
Thinking about painting my Stillen G3's. Sick of cleaning them, and now it does not get all the way clean, they look dirty all the time! I want to paint them my self to safe money... Any ideas on what paint to use, and how to go about it? Like do i need to sand it and stuff. I think a textured look would be really cool, almost like a black plasti dip look. Let me know what you guys think

Is your hood open that much that it bothers you?

Had my intakes professionally painted by a friend of mine. He did a fair amount of prepwork... I wouldn't do it yourself. I went with the body matched color (40th Quartz) but if I had to do it again I would have went with a contrasting look like red.
