    Supercharger in Black or Silver?

    The TT vs SC thread failed to get any information on Heffner's TT kit, so I think I'm just going to pull the trigger on the VF supercharger. I'll get it installed locally so hopefully things'll go well

    My main dilemma is whether to go with the black or the silver? I've got a silver car (with silver blades), but my engine bay is all CF (including the carbonio airbox). What would you do?





    now silver?


    or black:

    2010 Audi S5 (Silver)
    2011 Audi Q5 (Sexy Brown)
    2012 Tesla Model S (Soon?)

    That is a tough decision, my freind. Seems silver would look more apparent.

    Do you want it to be more visible or kind of hidden? Silver stands out more to me, black blends in and is more subtle. I think either would look great. You do have a silver car and the original intake was silver, so silver would look good. Then you have the CF and other dark items in the back, so the black would look good too.

    Sure, why not. I usually send Josh for that, but we aim to accommodate our customers.

    Great movie, btw.
