Default Looking for Plenum cover options

Right now my engine compartmrnt looks like this now with a black hose and a carbon fiber air intake:

I would just have the intake painted, Looks so much better than having a cover on it...
Here is a picture of mine.

be cautious if you go with a polished stainless cover. I ordered one that is only held on by one screw at the back that goes through the edge of the cowl. Didn't realize until too late that the front corners vibrate and wore through the paint on my painted fuel rail covers. I now only put it on for show and take it off when driving.

Default Plenum Cover

Thanks for all the help everyone. I am going with an Auto Buffs Plenum cover that will fit in with the rest of the work they have done for me. Will post pics after it is completed.
