Well its just my opinion but I prefer chrome covers; IMO it makes the engine look more like a V8 should look. Chrome, or maybe painted or powder-coated the same color as your car so that it shows a nice color scheme. But my first choice is still chrome first.

Either the same color as your car, or the same color as the Plenum Cover. That is my opinion anyway.

Easy, he's got it set up like a Shaker. You just can't see the hole where the trophy sticks out. I hear CDC is considering selling it.

Don't go car color if you have the Ford Plenum. I ended up painting my intake tube silver to get it to all match. The chrome ones will match the chrome pony on top of the plenum...just my opinion. I love my chrome ones, but I am constantly wiping them off to keep them looking good. I have had a lot of compliments on mine at car shows. My vote is for chrome..
