Do we like or is it to much ?

The quality of the work is excellent, but IMHO it detracts from the real star - the ENGINE. Return it to matte black.

 

too much but just my opinion.

 

That is a good point. Working with modified cars on a daily basis I see that sometimes emphasis is put in the wrong place. For example many cars I see have the entire wiring harness covered in red or purple loom. I would prefer to hide as much wiring as possible. That doesn't apply to this car but the airbox seems a little out of place. (unless plenum/valve covers were done to match).

I too like to make the engine as attractive as possible and all other areas subdued.

 

If you like it, it doesn't matter what I think.

 

What is the point of calling attention to the airbox as you have now done? It's stock and really nothing impressive. It calls too much attention away from that fine engine. Black mat it and restore the visual balance of the engine bay.

 

I like the look of the black box better, personally. Although, I did repaint the hoses with Red VHT to match my cam covers

great job ...i was thinking about putting braided covers on mine

 

The bright colors should be on the good stuff, IMO... You have a Ferrari Engine and an airbox to choose from... I'd want people looking at the Engine!

 

Very nice result......!
Just one question:
What is the T° you need to heat the covers and of course how much time?
