Question Need Pics of BRG MCS with Alta CAI - Choosing Silicon Hose Colour!

Heya guys

I've decided to get an Alta Air Intake & am now trying to decide on the colour for the silicon hose. I've searched high & low for photos, but can't find any pics of an intake installed on a BRG S... so, if you can help out that'd be MOST appreciated!

Cheers

No pics but my 2p is go for the black or the red. Red always looks good on BRG and the filter element is already that colour.

Hard to know without a picture isn't it?

I'll vote for red.

Let us know what you decide and make sure you post a pic.

Hrmmm, on BRG, I would probably go with black or red. Red with match the filter, and black in kind of blend in. It all depends if you want to hide it or show it. I wouldn't do blue, just because it clashes with BRG, imo. I guess red does to, idk. Your choice, just be sure to post pics when you get it!

Thanks for all the opinions & photos guys... i'm leaning towards red at the moment [blue would probably clash, & the black looks a little washed out from the pics i've seen]

Either way, I'd still love to see some pics on one installed on a BRG S... & will def post pics when I'm done
