Let's see your painted throttlebodys!!
 
I'm thinking of taking off my throttlebody, taping it up well and painting a semi-gloss high temp black. Now with the V+, it looks outta place witht he black plenum and black Z tube. Anyone done this, and/or have any pics?? Thanks!

Anyone??:eekdance:

Things like that can be done if its tastful, Iv gone with the "Cast" finish and mite do another color if it "worked"

Dont be like painting Happy Faces on it or anything like that though

Can't see the pic, but I know that cans like the older Greddy one can be mounted either vertically or horizontally...

I have the same V+ setup and don't mind the throttle body standing out. Breaks up all the black, along with the strut bar.

The black doesn't look bad at all but I am Voting rice.

looks very professional to me! nice job!

i think it looks good, but i would go with a flatter black that matches the plenum. i think gloss black wouldnt look right. i have a V+ too, i might have to give that a try.
