Yeah I heard rubbing it does not bother you

You are correct. They call it yellow but it has a very pronounced green tint to it.

The company that i got it from, they specialize in industrial bolts everything from little to extremely large nuts and bolts metric or standard. Their price the best out of every other store that i tried. They are located in Berkeley ca. If anyone need the location, let me know. I am not affiliate with them just to let everyone know.

Selecting a color is tough. I'm not really a fan of the black colors as everything in the engine bay is black already. The red always pops, either the bright red or even the dark candy red. The silver is a gorgeous color as well, and in the sunlight is spectacular.

I also am not fond of the two tone colors, as it always looks awkward to me. But then again, it's not my car.
Jeffvette-
Did you do this one? Fourth one down of the pictures in the second post. I love this color, subtle yet gun metalish! If I have to pull the top for any reason this is my choice.

Another option for a white car is wrinkle white satin or wrinkle red satin.There is a car out there that has red wrinkle on the plenum,looks great.

My plenum did have a black wrinkle paint on it, but I sent it out for color powder coating in March....yet to be seen or heard from.
