My plenum was a bit dark and more of a brown than grey. I had some paint left over from spraying a belt guard and decided to correct the color discrepancy on the plenum. See before and after photos below. I also wanted a look that was more "stock" in appearance, so I removed the Logo on the plenum. I can't wait to get this installed. I should have it mounted and the car tuned in a few weeks. I will post some photos at that time.
^ Nice job!
Office Desk TB/Plenum yet?

and would need throttle body and plenum 
Well I put my Throttle Body and new plenum on this weekend and ya'll are right, the plenum color is WAY off. I'm really suprised Doug shipped these out being that off. For the price and the time it took I expected better. I definately cant leave it on how it looks now. I'm going to have to take mine off and have my brother paint it black for me. :bash:
JBrown, what brand/color paint did you use? It looks like a perfect match!
I had the color matched to my belt guard for another job and just used some of that mix which was left over. I would recommend having a paint supplier take a laser shot of your existing plenum and mixing a pint of color for you. I used Deltron acrylic enamel and sprayed it a little dry to dull the gloss and add the texture to match the supercharger.
After installing the throttle body I had a fast idle (around 1200 RPM) and issues with a hanging idle when slowing to a stop after depressing the clutch. I had followed the instructions provided at the time of purchase with no luck at several attempts to set the idle. I contacted BilletFlow and was provided additional instructions pertaining to a base idle reset. Doug explained that it could take several heat cycles for the computer to "learn" the new set up. I am pleased to say that after about three weeks of driving the issues have been resolved. My idle is no longer hanging up and it idles at approx. 800 RPM. I am a happy customer.
Thanks Doug.
Thanks Doug.
Jbrown, I had the very same issue with my old Accufab TB/plenum. I did nothing but just let the computer learn the new setup. Took about 3 days if I remember right.
Nice job with the painting by the way.

I finally got a chance to take some photos of the throttle body installed after the plenum was painted. Before I get flamed let me explain the stock air box, factory paint markings, and bar code stickers. I am a little obsessive about factory stock OEM appearance. Although my 03 is modded a bit I really do try to keep things looking the same as they did when the car left The Dearborn Assembly Plant five years ago.

Looks real good..I like the "sleeper" look.
Is there going to be any differance between ur new T/B's and the old one's like mine?
Looks good Jeff. Nothing wrong with keeping the factory look. What are your actual motor mods beside the Billetflow TB?
I'm also curious, those TBs look so sexy :rockon:
Thanks Bob. My mods consist of mainly the normal stuff, BilletFlow Throttle Body & Plenum, BBK Long Tube Headers, BBK Off Road H pipe, FlowMaster cat back, 2.8 upper pulley, Dual Pass heat exchanger, K&N drop in filter, MGW shifter, Fiore Adjuster and Quadrant, Clutch Free Play Kit, Spec Stage 2 Clutch, Steel Bearing Retainer, Dyno tuned with a Predator, and a couple more small things. It doesn’t put out the numbers you see on a lot of these cars, probably because of the restricted intake. But I love it and will admit that it is the car I waited my whole life for.
