VQ35HR Radiator Cooling Panel - Color Options?
There should be at least one color! Everything is black, chrome/polished or silver.. Boring! Need some color to accent things. I don't think to many people order Sparco cooling hoses in black. lol

Yeah, but colored paneling looks tacky... unless the rest of your car is EXACTLY the same color.

Understandable and agreed! I had hopes of doing a Blue sparco hose kit with a Blue or CF cooling panel. Wonder if I can get a Sparco hose kit in Orange?! Prolly a special order but still waiting to see what the final colors will be on the Cooling panel before deciding which way togo.

^ I think he said Silver and Black. To start at least- who knows, 
maybe they'll do a colored anodize in the future... although, colors are pretty limited, from my understanding of anodize processes. I'd expect Gold and maybe Blue, but Gold scratches easily and Blue (type 2 at least) can be prone to chipping under stress if not done properly (then again, Black is the same (and it's pretty hard to mess up anodize)). In your case, Red is somewhat hard to get right unless you paint it... (ed: and if you wanted Red, which you don't, that would mean something.)
Heck, they may just be painting it, in which case...
Or you could paint it yourself... there's that...
