I think the black will blend in better and make the intake manifold stand out more.

I second this.
Too much orange. Either change the fat looms to black & leave the rest orange, or change it all black. The fat ones look a bit over the top to me.

I could go for either:
1. - The fat looms black, the rest orange.
2. - The fat looms orange and the rest of them black
3. - All black

Any one of those I think would work. Like Red said, "too much orange", I think it takes away from the intake. But minor changes I think would make it all "pop".

I agree with the others, Too much orange for my taste.

The way the looms are painted now, it seems like they are hiding the intake art. I wouldn't want to hide something that nice on my ride. Like they said before me, small changes should make it nicer and look cleaner

Mel I really like the Orange as it matches the trim on your car

Im kinda partial to the orange loom as well...
Looks to me like it makes Mike Lavelle "True Flames" a real eye grabber!

Howd you get him to do that for you? Did you send it to him? Or was he just crusing the hood for work?

I think it looks Killer just like it is Mel!

That hugger orange really does Match well with the stripes...
Keeps the "Theme" going inside and out!
