OK, My intake is here... - 7/30/2007 4:07:49 PM    ericemery DF Site Moderator Posts: 3861 Joined: 1/30/2007 From: Michigan Status: offline So,  I painted it with some blue high temp paint...  not sure if it will stay that way or not though... The ceramic coating is really ugly (off white...  really dirty looking)  So I painted it...  might just paint it a darker color,  but IDK.   The heat shield is painted with wheel coating.  ;-) Thumbnail Image Thumbnail Image Attachment (2) _____________________________ 2006 SLT 4X4 Quad cab V8.
