    Opinions on this idea

    On my intake manifold on my last car, when Jordan krinkle-painted it, he put a steering wheel roundel on the manifold over the top of the raised one already on top. I was thinking of putting this on top this time, to go with the rest of my AC Schnitzer theme:



    It would be easy to fit, and since the intake manifold doesn't really get all that hot, heat wouldn't be an issue.

    And besides, IF and when I end up finding one of these, I will have an ACS themed engine bay to go with the rest of the car.

      Mine never got overly hot. Pretty warm, but never really HOT.

        Well your last manifold looked awesome with the steering wheel emblem. Post a picture of it.

        I think the ACS would look sweet.

          C///M has that intake manifold and the matching valve cover now.

            I'd do it. It sounds like it will look nice. The worst thing that could happen is it look bad and you take it off, but I think it will look real nice.

              Josh that looks great. If you do something similar with a different symbol i think it will look good.

                What ACS parts do you plan on having? If you have a full authentic body kit and stuff, then I say it'd look good. If all you have is the fake interior pieces from eBay, then I say go with the roundel again instead.

                  Wow, your old one looks SWEET. If the ACS looks even half as good as the old one, you're set. I think it will look great.

                    Do it - as long as the ACS emblem is a nice clean fit like the roundel on your old one.

                        Yeah, if ACS didn't build that engine it's pretty queer.

                          I agree with the people calling you a ricer

                            Does anyone call Greg rice? He has an AC Schnitzer badge on his front grill. Matt also has race seats with the AC Schnitzer logo embroidered on them, and no one calls him rice. And they never even made seats.

                            I don't see how it's rice. AC Schnitzer didn't only make performance engine parts. Even if I decide not to do the engine stuff, I'm still going to have a lot of ACS parts in my car. The only thing that's going to be the ebay replicas are the pedals.

                              Who cares what other people think, if you like it then do it.

                              I think it will probably look pretty good, if it is done as clean as your old one.
