So its a dark green EL Falcon, with a GT40 and snort plenum and just wondering what color I should have the rocker cover and plenum and maybe also the compressor housing (and lower BBM) so when a cop wishes to look under the hood its not the "ZOMFG look how many defects I can give this guy" look.
I just want a clean / factory look, that kind of blends in as much as possible.
Thanx guys, have a good one.

could go the same color as the car or black if you want low profile spec

Yah, black was kind of what I was thinking about .... I dont want a flat as it looks Mad Max, wondering is a semi gloss would work best? Or just gloss black? hmm maybe I should see if I can photo chop some pics ...

yeah gloss black would be good.
with polished text on the rocker cover and comp housing if it has any.
keep it clean and it would look mint

yup sounds good to me I think, gloss black valve cover, leave bbm (will break the black from valve cover to plenum), black plenum, black compressor housing with the garrett name sanded back to alum .... awesome Misk, good ideas mate! ty!
