New underhood pics!

Well, after buying this car, it was painfully obvious the cast intake manifold needed to be replaced with a polished one to match the Paxton. While researching the process here on the forum, I checked on eBay and found this one for sale. I won the auction a couple days later, and I installed it yesterday. What I liked most about this intake is the center and lower runners are painted with a high temp black paint, so with these parts painted, keeping everything else polished should be a breeze.

I also polished the throttle body as it was the last remaining piece not polished on top.

I plan to add the billet oil fill cap, polished letters to go over the Viper logo(I can't get these to polish up nicely) and some PCV breathers. I think everything else will stand out more without overdoing the polished/chrome. Lemme know what you think!

Looks awesome Ryan! Got some black small diameter conduit to cover the red **** line and I think it will look even more factory.

I'm gonna wait until winter and get some longer tubing and reroute it underneath

As far as the TB, I just sanded it with tiny dremel bits and then wetsanded it from 400 up to 2000 in about 5 stages. I then buffed it with Dremel polishing bits with Adams #2. It was easy, but tedious
