I take manifold is ugly, options?
OK guys, I have the JacFab intake manifold spacer installed and a BMR strut brace.
Admit it, our manifolds are some butt ugly S.O.B's... Has anyone come up with a way to make them look better? I'm thinking of filling the top sections with resin when I port my intake so it looks more like a solid piece. Ideas? Thoughts?

Justin (BCSauto) is designing one and depending on time and money, I will either have JE design one or just stick with Justin and invest in that project. Would be able to handle a lot of boost and designed with a secondary fuel setup in mind. So no worries about drilling through plastic composite and weakening the structural intergity of the intake manifold.

I don't get all the hate for the LFX manifold. I always thought it looked cool being composite. I like that it's symmetrical and has the throttle body dead center. One of the guys at work has a v6 mustang and those intakes are way worse. It all hangs over one bank like they just took the intake off a FWD car and slapped it on.
