    It sort of "works" on the 456 as the fuel rail and head covers are already black, but still not sure if I "like" it or not. Glad that you like it anyway - it is your car.

    Looks good. Red would have looked good too, or silver. Later F133 V12s had varying amounts of red and silver, no black.

    I dont hate it nor do I adore it. I appreciate how it ties the engine bay together but honestly like the silver. I am not a fan of too much red (see 612/SA engine). Nick/Aerosurfer's engine bay is devine after he recently re-did his valve covers

    I'm partial. It's not crinkle, and slightly more shinny than stock, but I was very happy how mine turned out. I think it really keeps everything brightened up and draws the eyes to the heart of the car when the hood is up.

    Its just the intake manifold, not the valve covers. I'm not sure what color those with become when the time comes to remove them. Either stay black or go to red.
