Underhood paintwork
I am getting ready to install a FAST intake, & this is my opportunity to do some underhood customizing. Specifically, I am looking for pics of painted intakes & fuel rail covers to get some ideas. The FAST intake for those that don't know is a composite intake that comes in a light grey which I have seen painted in some very cool ways (carbon fiber), but there always pics of the intake off the car. I also would like to see one installed the way it comes. I would appreciate those who have underhood pics please reply. Thanks in advance.

The covers I have pictured are aluminum. If you use your stock covers, make sure you trim them to clear the FAST runners before your paint work!

I'm not much into purely cosmetic modifications but I've done a couple stealth appearance mods under the hood.
A better shot of the FAST installed:
I won't paint my FAST intake but I might 'go crazy' and buy some painted filler caps.

I do believe your "stealth" mods don't quite qualify as "stealth".
For example, here is a photo of the new F-22 with "Stealth" turned on:
