I think you mean a polished upper plenum. Not a spacer. The spacer isn't
visible once its installed i believe.

it's barely visible (thin strip of metal), and is less visible if you put the engine cover on.

Sorry to say, the 1/2" spacer is quite visible. Since the engine cover won't
fit and I altered a C/F cover and had it painted, the spacer is very visible!

technically, the spacer is supposed to do the same thing as a replacement plenum. People with the kinetix plenum disagree. I don't really have an opinion one way or the other.

Mrev2 is a replacement for the OEM lower intake runners (correct me if I'm wrong). There are mixed opinions on whether mrev2 is worth the extra cost on top of the spacer.

on almost any mod (with the exception of turbos and superchargers) there will be mixed opinions. you just have to decide for yourself.

The spacer is the best bang for the buck n/a mod you can do on the VQ.
