I cringe every time I see the flat black intakes on the hood. That was the only thing Jim Wangers busted my stones about when we seen him up in MI last summer for the Woodward Dream Cruise. He told me the one day we were hanging out with him for a while, he said "ok, now I have to ask, what is the deal with the black intakes on the hood? Now don't this wrong, but you do realize they should be the same color as the car, right"? LOL

If I could have found a spray can of Palladium Silver that very day, I would have painted them that night right there in the motel room, knowing I would see him again the following day. Just before the Bird was hit I had talked to our painter friend about doing some paint work and that was one of the things that was discussed! LOL

Funny thing is, I always liked the looks of the flat black intakes especially on the silver, but after he pointed them out, I hated it! The one thing I have NEVER liked is when people paint the hood tachs flat black (no offence if anyone has done so). That's why having the one on the LeMans in grey primer is driving me nuts!
