i think black with the letters sanded down so they are silver would look great.

even tho red will match ur intake...it is VERY falshy and brite, pretty gaudy imo. and red thats not powder coated gives that cheap look to it...black is a little more subtile and the silver lettering will match the exterior paint. if u want a little more red to match the intake, i think some red wire covers and/or spark plug wires will look great.

I did mine black with the letters sanded down. Looks nice and simple and not overly done.
