What color should i do. I was thinking of doing a gold color seeing how all the stock wheels are gold and the car has a gold pin stripe.


I will also have a spare set of pipes and might do them red or gold it anyone else is interested in a nice set. i have a pair getting blasted right now, then i will add the BOV to one of the pipes and Coat them. I will have pics when i am done. I just need to decide if i want them gold or not.

Any one else paint their pipes. i know lukeZ34 has red ones.

I did mine yellow because I thought that was an accent color I was going to go with.  I've changed my mind and now I plan on going back to black.  I'd say if you don't have any kind of a theme going with your car, stick with red or black.

Only the upper charge pipe is red on mine. Though it needs re-done, and I'd like to have them all done in red.

My upper I/C pipe is blue, but I am going to change all that to yellow when I find one I like.

The problem is it's going an the 5 speed, so I will have to add a BOV later, fucking up the coat.  I would do it otherwise.

Do you have a pic of the blue pipe in the engine bay?  I was thinking of doing that.

Yea, I have a BOV on my lower pipe too.
Shane, you want to trade upper pipes only?
