Question For Those Running a Vortex Rammer Intake
Do all Clear Vortex Rammers look like this used one on E-Bay over time?! 
In addition to the improved performance/HP, it also has the cool engine bling factor when new, however I'm wondering how long before it looks bad.
Anyone running this intake and does the clear airbox start to look bad over time?
Here it is new...

Yes the box will become dirty and since it is clear you will be able to see it.
I've been thinking about spraying mine black with plasti dipp.
To much of a pain to try and clean it after it is mounted.

Thanks. They offer it in black or carbon fiber as well. I thought the clear box had more of an engine bling factor, however after seeing the used one for sale on E-Bay, yuck!

I'm also considering the Callaway Honker as I like the oversized OEM look in addition to the performance. At first glance, I thought it was overpriced, however after you add the power ducts and other add ons required for other intake systems, the price is more competitive.
