Powder Coated mine and Polished the housing.

Not my style, but it looks ok.
You can always change it later if it doesn't grow on you.

I like it on its own, but perhaps it would go better with black or charcoal housing and valve covers

I just had a question about your coil. I thought the only MSD coil that is ok to mount upside down was the Blaster 2 High Vibration unit. Am I wrong on that?

I like your fan color. Is it more yellow or gold though?

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy car parts which is kind of the same thing.

Silver is good, and as a second choice I'd pick grey.

I really like the color of the fan itself...not with the red though.

I think a polished or black housing would really set it off.

The red and the gold is to much. But the gold fan alone is not bad. The Porsche lettering has to go unless you are unsure what it is you drive.....

The coil is actually just sitting there without the bracket because I'm waiting on a new bracket. The color is more gold-ish.

If YOU like it keep it, everyone like different things and it's great to see cars with personal touches, in my opinion. I personally think it looks good

That's nice. Mines red and I don't really like it.

This is a platinum-colored ceramic coating done for me by Mark Motshagen in California. The coating has held up nicely and before applying it he did minor repairs to the fan and its housing. I'm told that ceramic is a bit tougher and thinner than powder coating and is available in just as many colors

The housing is already powder coated red so a color change is out of the question for a while so I have to work around it. Lol

Hey guys thanks for all the feedback. I am keeping it this way but as per some of the critiques about the air box, I am getting rid of the lettering. Always good to have opinions of fellow owners. You guys are awesome!
