Default SE A/C Installed
After installing the SE A/C I noticed that the part that bolts to the heads show. The Aluminum loks ugly next to the powder coated egine. How does evryone cover this up. I was thinking of takingthe A/C housingoff and painting it flat black

I replaced mine with a chrome one. I've seen them painted black and they look good too.
