Default POLL: Help us decide a finish for a part on our SEMA car!!

Ok,

We are completely at a loss for our staff, customer, and me to make a decision on this. We have done our cnc machined coil covers in a media blast to match the factory blower housing on the LSA crate engine. It looks neat and to tie into that we did all our cnc'd caps and fuel filler with a media blasted center to match it all.

We made our intake tube, and none of us can come to a concensus on how it should be finished. Brushed is out of the question as it won't tie into anything that is going on under the hood. Heres where we are at:

Polished - personally I think its too much bling
Black powder - yes it would be copying Mr. Steilow, but it looks so good and allows the motor to be the attention point?
Media blasted - you dont see that much and it might be cool as it would match the motor, but might look wrong?
Media blasted and then black powdered - for that subtle textured look.......
