Pretty much my thoughts. I know it’s not going to fool anyone into believing it’s real, but I like the finish and I guess I’m going for a more subdued look. Most of the photo’s I see of these are always a bright shiny plenum with colored hose connections and hardware. I just want a little shine in the right places. ---

Actually, I found a guy on another forum who already had em done. When I install em, I’ll sell my current unfinished parts back into the community. I thought Detective Coatings was playing with this? [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-shit-carbon-fiber/224174.md?page=1)
