Engine bay color paint question/opinion
I am currently working on my engine bay and will be painting the engine bay the same color as the car. My question or your opinion is; should I paint the A/C housing that attaches to the fire wall as well or would you paint it black? Would love to see any pics both ways. Thanks

Since you have a specific way you are painting the engine compartment, you should be the one to decide what color the A/C plenum gets....if any. From the factory, it was unpainted. If you want the entire engine compartment to be the same color, go for it. Or you could paint the plenum black (semi-flat or satin are not "in your face" black options; flat black is a no-no as it marks up badly when you just touch it) or some other color.
