I think he meant the portion right over the radiator. Its the first unpainted thing you see above the grill.

And I agree, that would look sweet if it was painted too. Is that factory color, the matching is really good.

Overall I am totally feelin it.

Great job, how long did that take?

I will paint the intake over the exhaust the reason I did'nt is because the rest is in the garage because of the Injen install. To answer your question it is the factory paint color, and it took about a week, I primed it with a adhesive primer to promote adhesion to the plastic then applied 3 coats of paint and two of heat resistent clear coat.

That looks really great!! And I'm looking forward to doing something similar to mine, only I don't know how. Could you give me some tips like where to get the primer and clearcoat, and what tools I'd need?

Thanx...max
