I haven't done an offical count or anything - but most of the LS engines I'm seeing are left raw alum - or painted/powder coated alum type colors. If you don't decide to go clear (my preferance since the craftsmanship of this part is top shelf and I like industrial looking stuff) - I'd recommend something to complement alum. Monochromatic selections like black, grey, or silver in a satin finish alway gives a 'performance' look - verses going gloss/polished/chromed types IMO.

You could also match the colors/finishes you're doing on your other parts (Mounts, etc) so that it provides continuity to those customers using/combining your other products.

My opinion on company logo'd parts - this weekend in Columbus I saw more Wilwood master cyl caps with the logo milled off - then left on. I'm not down on logos at all - because I too like being able to 'identify' a cool must have part on someones ride - just make it suttle yet destinctive and recognizable - or it causes builders more work/costs to remove it entirely - or not chose it at all. Ex, I love the Moroso line of parts. High quality stuff that works - just lose or the shrink the billboard sized logo and others attempting to personalize their rides might include them on their 'possible' list.

Best of luck in your final choice !!

Jim
