Default Powder Coated TB

I can't see I've seen anyone powder coat there throttle body, so I picked up a used one of the forums and had it coated, think it came out nice. Might do my original in another color, red or black maybe.

Pics are from a car show last night, where I won one of the 20 Coolest cars awards!

Looks great, I'd love to do some PC under my hood (valve covers, TB, CAI, etc) but the cost will add up that could be used for other mods

That's a good idea. If you're stuck between which color, go with black. You don't want too much red because it'll cause some eye problems. However it's your car so do what you want to do and when you do it, post up some pictures!

I like the silver offset, there is an awful lot of black in there!

I do like the silver offset as well but he said either red or black is what he wants to do. Thought black would be nice and I kind of think red may be a little too much in that one area. Just my 2 cents.

True story especially since where the CAI attaches to the TB is red.
