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!

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.

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.
