Help Me Pick Color for HPS Silicone Air Intake Tube???

Have a 2009 G37 Black on Black Sedan. This is more for looks and maybe a smoother air flow? Adding ARK Grip CBE next week.

What Color do you guys think? I am between Blue or Black.

Blue might kind iof make the Engine Bay look Interesting, or it could look Dumb???

What color is Your Vote????????

Black or Blue? Showed Red too, just in case.

Bandit, I don't think color will impact that assessment. That said, go with black so that no one notices.

Everybody gets a vote. It's America, Vote Away !

I knwo this will likley do Nothing, BUT looks cool, and will smooth out airflow and make si sligghtly cooler. Might make a slightly louder tone when paired with my ARK and will get some new K&N (Or similar drop in's), and maybe one day, the Pop Charger by Jim Wolf.

Blac is what I was planning, but just THINKING about the Blue, when you open the hood, Black= No Talk about, when you have Blue, That = What the %^&*( is that?

LOLURMAD, Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. That Blue is pretty bright, like me.

Black FTW! Blue & Red just scream a little too loud for my taste, but they WILL get noticed.

Why not save a couple more bucks and get a real CAI? These tubes aren't cheap for what you get out of them.

Bandit has an endless supply of enthusiasm, so there's nothing I could say which would deter his intent.

Personally, I think rubber should be black, period. It's really difficult to make non-black elements look good in an engine bay when they aren't small details, and this thing isn't small.

Black, Bandit. Go black.

Maybe this song or Poem I just made up will bring closure to my question.

Here goes nothing,

"I have enthusiasm, I have heart, blue, black, Oh where so I start?

One day Red, and the other day Blue, my mind keeps swimming, YO what do I do?

I want to be classy, don't want to look Wack, so my Decision is Made, I'm picking the black!"

I know this is crazy, I know it's real Fly, Props to my Homies, I'm one Hell of a Guy!"

Its the end of the story,cause I know what I know, Yeah, They call me the Bandit, and my words they just Flow!

Hollllllllllllllllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The Bandit..............

(Typos fixed and a few more line of free flowing added)
