Piping Finish Opinions..

[4EverBoosted1]

Hey fellas.. Some may know already, but my truck is currently down while I finish up some small things that I haven't had time to get to. The main one being my "intake pipes." Due to time limits and availability I had to go with some Mild Steel Intake pipes/flanges. After the events have passed and the truck has made it to the dyno I can finally sit back and enjoy it/tweek it a little. I just sent off my intake pipes to UnlimitedCreations for my flanges to be re made in Stainless Steel. When I receive them back I will have Morgan and Colton come back down for a small truck session and we will be remaking the intakes in stainless along with a new Cold Side pipe from the intercooler.

SO, my question is.. What would you guys think would be the best appearance option for my truck and it's engine bay. Should I polish the stainless piping, powder coat it, or leave it RAW? I am leaning towards powdercoat gloss black and both my compressor covers are mirror polished... Here is a pic of how it sits RAW.

With the look of your truck, I agree with gloss black.

 

[Randy_270]

Bright pink!! Haha just kidding, I vote powdercoated black

 

[Trevor008]

PC gloss black or an accent color to break things up a little

 

[NathannialD]

Do you have any color other than black on the outside of your truck?

I really liked how beef nachos truck looked with black piping and polished covers, but ... his was a mild steel kit. if you want people to $hit, I would polish it all, but that's just me.

Black blends together too much, i had it like that on my black truck and was never really happy with it
