Yes, we'll match the silicone colors..

You guys like pink right? Ok good..

I hear ya, just trying to help you get it right considering the stuff Kyle touched on for the VQ35 kit. I mean well...

Oh no.. I'm sorry.. appreciate the thoughts and ideas.. I was just being not-so-funny with my pink comment, while letting you know we agree and the silicone should be a single color.

Just wanted to point out that it's still the prototype.. it will be a bit cleaner.. but we love hearing everyones ideas..

We definitely appreciate the input!

In regards to the supercharger finish, keep in mind that our prototype that we're testing with is the polished version of the blower. There is a less expensive option which will be the raw cast aluminum finish. I don't know yet what the pricing difference will be but aesthetically it could change some things.

Right now we're kind of in "make it work" mode not so much, make it pretty.

Hearing that you will offer a raw aluminum finish is good news. I was thinking of possibly doing some sort of wrinkle finish on the manifold. Well, it sounds right in my head at least...

The wrinkle finish would look pretty cool! I think that we will actually be doing a wrinkle finish, although I'm not sure on that. It's funny because wrinkle finish looks really good on the manifolds but smooth black powder coat looks really good on the charge pipe where a wrinkle black would look too industrial in my opinion...Kind of odd how those two different finishes on two different components right next to each other can look so good.

I just realized I completely misread your post. For some reason I thought you were talking about the intake manifold finish, and not the supercharger's. This makes more sense as Vortech always offers a satin finish and a polished finish.

But, doing a wrinkle finish on the intake manifold would look good. Its just a matter of making everything else match well.

Repeat.

i thought my 3 a day average was bad, RCZ if you die of a heart attack waiting can i have your z? i could have the brilliant silver ( Im not using the acronym for my color because it sounds like im poking fun of my z ) for the daytime z and your pg as the night time z.
