Nice, I went a bit darker with 356 grey Purty! Really purty! Sell at Barrett-Jackson? Proly not. Looks really nice though. Hi Pat, (aka Mr.CW) & others. Here's my 2-cents worth. I had a number of original F.I. Intake Runners & matched the color from under the bracket. Here's my color match. It's a medium satin black/grey finish. I powder coated mine (see photo).
