Need help picking aem cai color.

I have an ABP TLS and am finally going to order my cai. Most likely next week. I just can't decide which color to get. I would like to match my car but the blue is different. I wish they made a chrome or something similer. Anyway, I'm open to opinions and pics. Thanx for your help.

PS, I'm set on an AEM not Injen so I can install the bypass without cutting.

Although it is a little more expensive why don't you get the polished crome one. It won't clash like any of the other colors you mentioned and it looks cool, shiny and all.

AEM doesn't make a polished CAI for the TypeS.

I myself got the Injen polished. I was gonna get blue but it doesnt match well and the chrome will stand out better. It's two cuts in the pipe not very hard. Plus its cheaper than the AEM.

i agree with turbomike, what the hell are you asking us about colors for. ok if brand was a problem that i understand, but exactly how are any of the members supposed to get in your head and see what you like the best. its what you like not what we like. you want us to pick the color of your condoms too. maybe what color underwear you should have on for your next outting.

Flip a coin--red if it's heads, blue if it's tails and silver if it stands on it's edge:p

Ok..Ok.. man some of you guys are pretty rough. I think I will go with the blue and like wishing type s said I can allways have it painted. Someone said you have to cut the AEM as well is this true. Because if I have to cut it, why not get the Ingen chrome polished. Cheaper too.

Thanx for your opinions, both positive and negitive
