Polished my Throttlebody, painted Intake

I decided to clean up my throttle body a while I waited for my intake to dry after painting the second coat of Chevy Red.
It looks like Chevy Pink to me, but I hope that it darkens up a bit.

This is the first coat from last night,


This is the second coat from tonight,


My TB with the new plate


the front of the tb


this is an out of focus image of the tb,


so, any opinions?

Looks good.
Just curious why you went with the 'ram air' plate instead of like say a WS6 plate or something?

The plate was a given given to me by one of my friends.
I do eventually plan on getting a Ram Air hood, I already have the small GM Ram Air decals that go on the edges of the hood, just need the hood.

I had to repaint it since it still had a pink hue to it.
