I say go for it too. If you can do it for the same price as polished. It would be different.

+1 On going for it...As you can see it doesnt look like anyone else has done it and its always better to be different and stand out then just blend in with the rest

I had a good numbers of parts powder coated yellow to match the vehicle. Though I felt that I should PC the lower intake black and teh front timing cover black. I found a yellow match for screaming yellow and did the coolant tube, VC's and several other parts.
I should have some final pics this week.
I would defiantly PC over paint anyday.





Here's an updated pic though the charger is sitting on the table. The current VC are a different yellow then these other parts. I should have the new covers here this week.

While thats awesome and all, personally I'm about contrast. Since my car is blue with the polished rims, I'd go polished. I think the red would look amazing on a black car. You want to show off your engine, not make it all blend in to different shades of red. While the thought of a blue whipple intrigues me, I just think it'd be too much.

Yes I understand your point, if I had my car with chrome rims i'd get a polished unit for sure.

smythge please post pics when you get it !
