I recently purchased a used CP-E CAI and painted it black. I took some pics along the way. What do you think?

I used Dupli-Color high temp paint (They sell it at autozone)

Looks much better! When I first looked at the pics I thought the intake was for an MS6 and I was thinking holy crap this guy bought a completely bent and ruined intake lol. Then I saw your MS3 avatar picture :lol:

Ha Ha, would you have pointed it out or waited until I tried to install it to rub it in?

Looking good! Any plans to paint the valve covers to finish off the look?
