New Product Input Needed

We are very close to finishing production of our new intake manifold line. I'm looking for your input on the base color to offer these intakes in. After seeing these in different colors I'm having a VERY hard time deciding on the base color for release.

Here's your chance to help direct our new line. Let me know what you guys would like to see.

All steel to match the factory intercooler piping. I have a prototype photo up on our site. If you're going to the Dynomite Diesel event this weekend there will be a truck in house with the prototype installed.

The production units have a standard hose bead on the intercooler end.

Don't do red, everyone will think Banks

Cummins blue is cool but I think it will look weird under there. It won't match anything else.

Silver is cool but may not distinguish it from the stock piece.

Black would be my choice but I would be afraid of it being too hot.

How about polished? Or that powdercoat chrome?

Agreed on all points. That's why I'm struggling with this. I do have access to zinc plating and the powder chrome. We're going to try both next and see how they turn out.

I like the electric blue myself. I have been thinking about dressing up the power plant with hints of elct blue, that would be sweet to buy it done already though.

I'm ready for something psychedelic

two toned ??
dipped chrome ??
color fade ??

yeah... I know

I would say black or blue would be two good base colors. I assumed you'd be able to coat it any color you do you ladder bars ? If so, beyond your base two there's a lot to choose from.

Anything on the U-bolts ?
