E-force in color....
...what do you guys think? I did a quick Photochop to see what color matching covers would look like.
Here is yellow:

I was thinking about doing the same thing but just the covers only. Waiting to see if anyone else does it first. Stationed at Kessler? I was at one time with the Hurricane Hunters in the 80"s

Yep we are here at Kessler...actually living in the new base housing (sold our home in FL) I love the area and living on base is much nicer than it was years ago.
Anyways, If anyone wants me to whip one out in their car color, let me know....kind of a "try before you buy."

I did it out of curiosity and just like people that paint their intake manifolds.....some like it an' some don't. I'm on the fence about it myself. I think it personalizes the setup but it may make it too obvious....just not sure. The good thing is, you can get an idea of how it looks before committing to it.

I don't know if anything will help the look of the Eforce! It just doesn't have the eye appeal of a $7000 performance product in my opinion. After I spend that kind of cash, when I pop the hood, I want it to be impressive looking! 
I'd like to see an Eforce setup (w/o their black fuel rail covers) and someone add some billet valve covers from this company:

That's a lot of colour under the hood. It might work for some colours.

I like the yellow supercharger done in color with the side covers left black. I like the E-force, but I do think that it's just a little plain looking; in a big and plasticy kind of way.
The only problem is that if I ever got one of those, it would be difficult to wait to have it painted before I put it on.
Factoring that in, I would think that going with the black supercharger and painted covers would work better for the patience-challenged among us.
They could be painted with rattle-cans and made to look pretty nice if you took your time.
Also, if they are aluminum, someone could have them chrome plated to really dress up the look a bit. Not for me -- I'm to cheap -- but it would probably look cool!
Let's see you photochop that!
J/K, Thanks for doing this.
By the way, do you have an E-force installed on your Vette or are you hoping to do it in the future? I'm in the latter category myself.
