EDIT: i have a dg g35c
EDIT 2: please be sure to vote in the actual poll of course ill read everyones opinions but its easier to tally up if you use the poll

after doing some researchin..looks like i can do it myself with some sand paper, high temp paint, and clear coat.

if i go that route it shouldnt be more than 15-20 bucks at max

I would take off the engine cover... Even though it looks nice it's a blanket over the motor... Retain the heat, and over time heat soaking the plenum...

I have one for sale in the marketplace off an 06 where I believe the V6 and 3.5 are chrome.

I voted for paint just the V6 and 3.5.
