Injen Intake: Black vs. Polished

Hi all,

Haven't posted here forever. Been trying to find some engine bay pics to see whether I prefer the black powder-coated injen intake or the polished one, but it's hard to tell who has what. Just thought I'd help consolidate. So, if you'd like, fill out the poll with what you've got, and post a pic of your engine bay, with the hope that this will be helpful to all like me who can't decide between the two.

Cheers... looking forward to seeing your intake shots

(note: your responses to the poll will be public, so that people will more easily know who has what)

*EDIT*

Just found this thread:

I have the AEM, which is polished, but if I got the Injen, I'd def go w/ black. When I bought the AEM way back, I didn't know I was gonna end up getting black wheels, otherwise I woudlve gotten the black Injen.

I actually think that looks pretty sharp BlilBT... I went with the black... figured the polished would get pretty nasty-looking over time (I know I wouldn't clean my engine bay too often).
