Just thinking that it might look a bit dark and gloomy under the hood with so much black/gunmetal/carbon? Not enough contrast.
I personally like the mixture of chrome and black on the outside and think that maybe a polished plenum would carry the theme over a bit better.

Just my 2 cents

I like the idea of polished too. I'm just not sure I have the time to do it. The plan was to get a polished one from Intense but there are a couple holes taped into mine for boost readings so I don't have a core.

Maybe a coat of the polished/chrome effect paint then....or powdercoating of course.
The paint that's supposed to look like polished aluminum doesn't look too bad if applied properly.
Or you could go the other way and paint the plenum black/graphite and then paint the standard cover a brighter silver colour.

I know the amps don't match, getting new ones soon. Sold the big matching alpine because it would not fit anywhere.

It's not bad. It just looks steep in the pics. I can go right in and out without scraping or anything. In fact my friend's lowered late 90's camero does not scrape.

Are you planning on taking it to the track any time soon? I would really love to see the 1/4 mile.
