Message	But not match. I'd go black chrome and get the TBs and linkage done as well. Stock TBs and a PCed plenum looks like ass. Prepwork? Degrease the hell out of it, with foaming engine cleaner, etc. If you want to sand/smooth things, you'll need to be pretty uniform, as the PC doesn't really fill gaps. The PC guy should bead/sandblast it and spray it down prior to coating and baking. Black300zx in classifieds is very good. "...Downpipes own.
