Painting my GTX ram air hood grilles

[KoreyGTX]

Hey, I've noticed my ram air hood grilles are looking a little dull and was wanting to paint them. Any body have experience with this? They dont look like they come out very easy so was thinking I might have to use a paint brush. Any recommendations on a colour? I was thinking either white or just plain black

^i say silver on the color. and if u CAN'T get the grills out. definately use tape on the hood!

how much would a new gtx hood cost?

 

[boosting98]

^price can vary. i'd say 500 is a good ball park figure!

 

[mzendano]

is it true that it increases the performence?

 

[boosting98]

^its true it helps keep the motor/supercharger cooler!

It's a part of the ram air induction, which im told adds horsepower?
