Since the only option I ever saw aftermarket is now officially off the market. Curious if anyone has painted their OEM one just to spruce it up a bit.
Pics of how it came out would be a plus

On my SE, the intake manifold is plastic. Never checked on an ST. But I was planning on just getting some DEI reflective gold tape and covering the whole thing with it to keep intake temps down. Some people look at the gold tape as ricey, others like me look at it as functional so. It's a good functional option to consider that would bring some bling to the engine bay.

ST manifold is plastic as well.

If it wasn’t gold that could be an option. I want to keep the colors common in case I ever decide to put her in a show

They make silver options too. I believe there is black/dark grey but the gold is the most effective.
